Description: In this topic, the user will learn how to enter a punch on the DCI mobile app. The DCI mobile app allows employees to clock in and out in real time. The mobile app is EVV compliant so many organizations prefer that their employees use it instead of the web portal. The mobile app has an Offline Mode, meaning that the employee can still clock in and clock out in areas where there are no cellular or wireless networks available. The mobile app can be used on any smart device, phone, or tablet that meets the operating system requirements. The DCI mobile app is free and available in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Role Required: Employee (base user)

Permission Required: N/A
