Auto alerts are generated when an employee fails to:

  1. Clock times on or off within the designated shift or 
  2. Clock times on or off within the break alert window. (Set in the Rulesets)
If enabled, an email message containing up-to-date attendance records is forwarded to a nominated Administrator. This will only occur if the Auto Alert Check field is not set to 00:00. In the event of the message not being delivered, it is referred to an alternate (Reply Email) address, which acts as a backup.


Please note that this function will only operate when SMTP mail services are available if a change in these details is made (such as an update to the email password) the alerts will no longer be sent until it has also been corrected within ClockOn.
