Now the devices will appear on the Registered Devices list.
Configuring the T&A Mode
Device with a touchscreen/keypad and devices without them have different options for T&A Modes.

Below is a configuration of a T&A mode where the user has to enter a T&A event(punch-in) after authentication.
1. Select By User for T&A Mode.
2. Change T&A Required to Yes.
3. For Code 1, set Label to Checking In.
4. For Code 1, set the T&A type to Check In.
5. For Code 2, set the Label to Checking Out.
6. For Code 2, set the T&A type to Check Out.
7. Click Apply.
Now when a user authentication succeeds, the device screen will display the option of Check In or Check Out and the user will have to select one to record the punch in.
T&A Mode Options
The meanings of the available T&A Modes are as follows:
By User: User will have to select their T&A event type. If T&A Required is checked on, authentication will not complete until the user select’s hir or her T&A event type.
By Schedule: The T&A type will change automatically based on the schedule that is configured. You can create a new schedule in Setting > Schedule > Add Schedule.
Last Choice: The T&A type will remain with the last choice made by the user. For instance, if a user entered using the Check In T&A type, the device T&A type will remain as Check In until someone else changes it.
Fixed: The T&A type will always be one fixed T&A type. The user will not have to press a T&A key.
Not Use: The T&A type is not recorded. This may be an option if you are not calculating break times and are only using First Check-in & Last Check-out option in your shift.
