Can my employees punch in without a schedule?

Not all employees must be scheduled to be able to punch in. If you have common positions that have employees that get called in, and you want them to be able to punch in when they arrive, this can easily be controlled through Roles & Permissions. 

To update this functionality in Inn-Flow, select the Administration icon at the bottom of the left navigation bar, then Roles & Permissions. 

If you do not have either of these options, please reach out to a Manager for assistance as they will need to make these updates. Inn-Flow Support cannot make changes to Roles & Permissions due to security reasons.

Next, in Roles & Permissions, find the Role Permission you want to give access to be able to punch in without a schedule for. In this example, we're going to allow the Chief Engineer as its common for them to be called into work at a time outside of their usual schedule.

From there, in the text box, type in the word "without schedule," which will filter permissions with this text.

Scroll down until you find the permissions for Settings and Timeclock Settings. You will want to check the box to the left of "Punch In without Schedule" to activate this feature.

Once you Save the page, all changes will be live. 

The next time an employee with this permission goes to the timeclock, they can find their name by using the textbox on the Timeclock. They can click on their name, select what position they're working, and their estimated Out Time. 

PRO TIP: Updating Role Permissions will affect any users in the organization who are assigned that Role within their user profile. Click on the "Users Assigned" section to see what users will be affected by this change. 

Granting the ability to Punch in without Schedule would allow this for all users assigned that Role Permission.
