4-2 Time Guardian Series – How To Use
Note: The software will always open to the tree view in the last module opened. If necessary,
simply click on the “+” signs to expand the Daily Activities and/or Output Group to view
the modules [Setup with subordinate modules will be present if Advanced modules are
activated]. Some modules may not be active depending upon what selections were
made using the Setup Wizard (i.e., selecting No on Step 8: Clock for terminals other
than Access Control). Also, the User type (login) will control which modules are active
(i.e., a “Payroll” user logged in will not be able to see the Import, Export, and Auto
Process modules). Several modules such as Pay Class and Shift Rules will not be
visible unless the Advanced Pay Class and Advanced Meal modules are activated.
Note: Time Guardian Pro contains all modules.
