Daylight Savings Instructions (ClockLink)

Note: The following procedure must be performed for each time clock that is affected by the time change.

1. Open the ClockLink utility (from the Windows Start Menu go to Programs | TimeForce and click on "ClockLink").

2. Each clock that has been inserted into the TimeForce system is listed under in the TimeClocks section of the screen. The clocks are displayed in a tree-directory based on the "Clock Group" that they are assigned to. See Figure DST CLOCKLINK-1.

5. Enter the desired date into the Date field. Either place your cursor in the field and type the desired date (mm/dd/yyyy), or click on the down-arrow icon at the end of the field to select the date from a calendar. By default this field is populated with the computer's system date. Click on the icon to restore the system date setting.

6. Enter the updated time into the Time field. Either place your cursor in the field and type the desired time, or click on the up and down arrow keys at the end of the field to scroll the time up or down. By default this field is populated with the computer's system time. Click on the icon to restore the system time setting.

7. Once the correct date and time settings have been specified, click on the icon. A "Date/Time Uploaded" message appears at the bottom of the screen.

You can now disconnect from the time clock by clicking on the "Disconnect" link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, and exit the ClockLink utility.
