Is there a way to show the IP address of a WebClock punch, and possibly turn the punch in and out capability off on all of our employees and just allowing them to view their time cards online?
Answer
We can track WebClock IP's via the "Web Clock Punch Audit" link found on every employee time card. Please keep in mind that this only works if they are using WebClock 2.0.

We can also limit the amount of computers that are allowed to use these features by IP by going to the Account Menu then to Miscellaneous Settings and at the very bottom using the WebClockIPFilter feature.

Here you can specify which IP's can use the web clock. Multiple IP's can be entered by making them comma separated. For example:

66.123.0.1,66.123.0.2,66.123.0.3

Per the explanation under that field you can even do wildcards for example Use: * as a wildcard to specify a range of IP addresses. Example settings:

1) 204.246.133.*
2) 204.246.*
3) 204.*

**Note: If employee's use a computer with an IP address not listed in the "WebClockIPFilter" they will still be able to use the "View Timecard" function.

**Note: There is a character limit of 1,800 for saving IP addresses in the WebClockIPFilter.

A video tutorial on setting up the IP Filter can be found at the below link:

You can use the web site www.whatismyip.com to find out a computer's public IP address. The IP address is also shown in the rejection message if the filter prevents someone from clocking in. Often, computers in the same building sharing the same Internet connection will share the same public IP address.

Computers frequently have a "private" and a "public" IP address. Only the public IP address can be used in the web filter. Private IP addresses are ones that start with 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x.
