Exceptions

The Exceptions entity provides, at a transactional level, the necessary data columns to report on the exceptions triggered by employees, based on the exception rules that have been configured in the system (for example, Late In-Punch).

The Exceptions entity returns one row per employee per exception. Therefore, if an employee has triggered three exceptions on a given day, three rows are returned.

  • Because the data is processed at the transactional level, it is important for users to include the Exception Type and Exception Apply Date columns when creating a Dataview or report so that they can understand the data that is being returned.
  • The Actual Punch Date Time column provides the actual date and time at which the employee punched in or punched out in relation to an exception. Users can add this column to view the actual punch time (In or Out) related to exceptions that are associated with an actual punch.
    • Example:  A Late Out exception is associated with the actual out time for the employee.
  • The Scheduled Punch Date Time column provides the date and time at which the employee was scheduled to punch in or punch out in relation to an exception. Users can add this column when creating a Dataview or report to view the scheduled punch time (In or Out) related to exceptions that are associated with a scheduled punch.
    • Example: A Missed Out Punch exception is associated with the scheduled out time for the employee.
    • Example: A Late In, Late Out, Early In, or Early Out exception has an associated scheduled punch time.
