Forcing Database Updates

This How-To Article explains how the time clock administrator can force Time Clock MTS to run the database update routine against the time clock data file.

1. 1. This process can only be performed using the Time Clock MTS Stand Alone Edition or the Time Clock MTS Administrator software (if you're using the Network or Network PLUS Editions).  It also cannot be used in versions of the software prior to Version 6.1.1.
