Word Templates

When Word is installed, ClockOn provides direct access to Word document templates (.dot files). A range of templates specifically designed for ClockOn are also included. These special HR based templates are identified in the directory by the prefix 'ClockOn'.


Templates are useful in that they have the ability to automatically populate fields (name details, address, start date etc.) with matching data stored in the ClockOn database (based on the currently selected employee):

NOTE: When making changes to an existing template, make sure to use Save As and save the new document as a template file before making the changes. Otherwise the original template will be lost.

Word templates are accessible by the Administrator from all tabs on the Employee screen.
