Adding a Time Clock

To complete the steps in this article, you must be an administrator or have the necessary view and/or edit permissions enabled. If you believe you should be able to complete the steps and are not able to, reach out to your account administrator to discuss updating the settings for your Role.

Whether adding a new time clock or adding a new device ID after a factory reset, you'll use the same process to add the time clock to your account.

3. Tap Let's Get Started to begin.
4. The time clock will check for any updates, click Continue. 
5. Follow the steps on the screen to connect your time clock to your account.

Finish setting up the CloudPunch time clock:

A note on setting the admin PIN:

The Admin Passcode created by the account administrator during the clock's onboarding process should be a secure five-digit PIN and not shared. To change the Admin Passcode for the time clock, reach out to our support team for assistance, as this cannot be done from the cloud account or device and requires a factory reset.
