Admin Reset User's Mobile ID to Allow Staff to Change Device

Introduction

TimeTec Mobile is a real-time solution aimed to provide maximum convenience and flexibility, especially to industries having staff who are constantly on-the-move, enabling them to report their attendance wherever they are, check their attendance sheet record, and view their reports.



Each mobile phone has its own mobile ID. When a user first time login to TimeTec TA account using TimeTec HR mobile app, they will be asked to set their current mobile phone as default mobile device. And by doing so, a unique mobile ID will be assigned to the mobile phone, and TimeTec TA will store this particular mobile ID. 



With that, the user can do mobile clocking through the mobile phone, and they will not be able to do so through other mobile phones. This feature was developed to avoid buddy punching occurrences and TimeTec Mobile stores the location of the clocking activities in the data.

And it’s a known fact as well that people change their mobile phones quite regularly. Hence, when a user changes his mobile phone, the mobile ID must be reset to get a new mobile ID for the new phone so that mobile clocking can be done as usual.


Benefits

 

There are 2 options to reset user’s Mobile ID. The first option is reset by user itself by pairing code that is send to the user’s email. The second option is Mobile ID reset by Administrator which we will be focusing on in this Article.
