Setting Rotational Working Roster
Rotational Working Roster is applicable in a factory-like environment, where users always 
rotate to another working shift periodically. The roster normally is not circulated weekly 
but the management defines it for example a 12-day cycle. 
Let’s see how to configure the below scenario:
The sequence of rotation is as below for a 12-day cycle. R refers to restday
Follow the steps below:
•  Please make sure that you have configured the 3 shifts in Clocking Schedule as ex-
plained above.
•  In each of the shift clocking schedule, do not forget to specify “If this is a rotational 
shift, specify the qualify minutes before the shift starts” – For example if you put 10 
minutes, the employee for 3 checks out at 4:10pm, the 10 minutes will be calculated as 
overtime. If another employee for shift 4 reports to work between 4:01pm and 4:10pm, 
he will not be considered late at the attendance record. 
• Go to 
Group Duty Roster, click Add Group to continue
• Select a 
Group Duty Roster with Shift and name it as Factory 2 > Click Okay
• Click Auto Schedules and define the day type (morning (3), evening (4) or night (5) ac-
cording to the schedule above. 
•  Define the date range and click 
Okay
•  Click Save to save settings. 
Now you can see the Group Duty Roster list and you will see “Factory 2” being displayed 
on the list. 
Setting Open Working Roster
Open working roster is when a factory or a company does not determine specific type 
of roster for the employee and they can attend any shifts as they please. With the open 
roster, TCMS V2 will allocate user’s clocking time into corresponding working shift by 
referring to the clocking time. The working shift in open schedule cannot be overlapped 
and must be clearly defined. TCMS V2 will not be able to allocate users into their correct 
shift if the IN time and OUT time of the shift overlaps.
