Introduction to Creating a Complete Staff Entry and Clocking Entry

This page will detail the entire process of creating a complete Staff member and clocking entry in the back office, using the API. The other pages in this section further detail the available API requests for each attribute.

In this example, a Staff member and its attributes will be created first, in the following order:

1. Access Right *
2. Staff*

Followed by an example Clocking Entry, created in the following order:

1. Clocking Type *
2. Clocking*

* Required

The orders given above are the most efficient ways of creating a Staff member and Clocking entry, due to ID dependencies.

Step 1: Creating an Access Right

The first step is to create an Access Right. This is only required once, for each unique Access Right, and does not need to be re-created for each Staff Member.

Documentation on how to create new access right can be found here.

Step 2: Creating a Staff Member

The next step is to create the Staff member.
