There are two ways to approve and lock punches. You may use either or both methods, as each functions differently and serves a specific purpose:

1. Approve and/or Lock Punches Individually or in Bulk

Individually:

Step 1: Go to Manage > Raw Punches.

Step 2: In the filtered list, you can include the Punch State column by customizing the column settings.

Step 3: Choose the Punch you want to configure.

Step 4: You can now update the punch state under the "Punch Information".

Step 5: Be sure to click the "Save State Change" button to confirm the update.

If the Punch State is set to lock the Punch, all other fields, including time entries, will be restricted from editing.

If you need to later re-edit the Punch, you can clear the State to unlock it.

Edit Punch State in Bulk

Step 1: Click the "Bulk Select" option at the top of the screen.

Step 2: Select the punches you want to edit by checking the box next to the worker's name.

Step 3: After selecting the punches, click the dropdown arrow next to “Bulk Action” and select ‘Set Punch State’.

For more details, see the following help article.

Step 2: Select the worker(s) whose punch you want to lock.

Step 3: Click the ‘Set Punch State’ button above.

Step 4: Choose the punch state you want to apply to the selected punches.
