Using a dedicated tablet device for your Tanda Time Clock is our recommendation. However ,if you would prefer to have it set up on your desktop, you can also run the Time Clock App on your computer. You should have a dedicated computer for this, so staff are not interrupted while trying to clock-in and-out. It is also suggested your computer has a webcam, so staff clock-in photos are recorded and added to their Timesheets.

How to install the app

Go to the New Time Clock page in Tanda. You can access this by clicking on Settings (the cog wheel icon in the top right corner) >Time Clock Setup > New Time Clock or in the Dashboard by clicking on the blue plus icon in the Time Clocks widget:

Click on the Desktop tab and then click the green button for Mac or Windows:
