Overview
Talexio allows you to upload the raw clocking data from devices provided and also from your own device exports. There is also an option to upload Time Logs into Talexio for approval. This article explains the difference between Time Logs and Raw Clockings and how to upload the different options.
Permissions
The permission required to complete a bulk upload is Manage Time Clocking. If assigned on anything other than global, then you will only be able to upload data for those you have permission over.
Understanding Raw Clockings vs Time Logs
Before uploading, ensure you understand the difference between the two data formats:
- Raw Clockings: Transactional data taken directly from a physical device or device export, recording individual punch-in and punch-out events row by row.
- Time Logs: Summarised daily reflections showing both the time in and time out for an employee on a single row.
How to Upload Data in Bulk
You can upload raw clocking data by using a downloadable template or by mapping your own device export file.
- Navigate to Time & Attendance> Clockings.
- Click on the 3 dot-menu > Raw Clockings upload.
- Choose the Talexio template or upload your device export file.
- If the Talexio template is downloaded, complete the data and save the file. From where the template is downloaded it can be uploaded once completed.
- Once the file is uploaded, select the relevant columns and headers (such as Employee Code or ID Card number) to map your data fields to Talexio.
- Click Upload to submit the file.
Talexio's raw clocking upload template uses the same columns as the Raw Transactions Export from the Cloud Device Manager (CDM). For the column Punch State, you will need to complete the field with "In" or "Out".
- Navigate to Time & Attendance> Clockings.
- Click on the 3 dot-menu > Timelogs upload.
- Download the Talexio template and complete the data and save the file.
- From where the template is downloaded it can be uploaded once completed.
- After the upload is selected, the screen will show the data being uploaded, which can be edited in the dialog.
- Click Save to submit the file.
