VoiceClock - Skipping Prompts on the VoiceClock
Currently the VoiceClock does not allow one to press a key to skip prompts programmed to it.

There is a work around using a script that will allow one to enter in a number(s) and with the script resolve that number to a blank or NULL value so as to not have it show up on the time card.

Using the x prompt as an example we can use "0" as our numeric that resolves to a NULL (blank) value. A pound sign (#) is required for the clock to recognize the digits entered before this so at the clock they would enter "0#" (no quotes) when prompted for either a department job or location or whatever .wav prompt you have used for your x prompt. Below is the script:

if (x = "0")
{
x = "";
}

So with this if the system sees a "0" come across in a punch it will know to leave that entry blank and it will not show on the time card.

Things to remember are that you need to use a digit(s) that will not be required by the client as this will affect all prompts not just prompts setup on the VoiceClock. Meaning regardless of where the "0" is entered whether it is manually added, added at a TimeClock or added at a VoiceClock, if it sees this ("0") nothing will come across to the time card for that entry.

Also if you have multiple prompts a separate script will be needed for those also if skipping the additional prompts is a valid option for the client. You can use the same entry ("0") but each script will need to be individually created for each prompt like if I were to do z, and y it would look like:

if (z = "0")
{
z = "";
}

if (y = "0")
{
y = "";
}
