Clock Management
Registered time clocks, web clocks and mobile users are all managed using the Clocks app under the System Menu Clock Management. The current status of the clock is displayed in the far right. Time clocks check-in every 10 minutes with an update on their current time, and collect any instruction such as Reboot, Update, etc. Web clocks and mobile may not check-in if the app is not currently running. The Current Time column corresponds to the last time the device has checked in.
