TimePilot Vetro

Vetro Data Manager

The Vetro Data Manager is a small program that acts as the link between the TimePilot Central software and the Vetro clock when the clock is connected to your local area network. It does other things too:

• It keeps the date and time on your clock synchronized with the date and time on your server.
• When you make changes in TimePilot Central, It handles the transfer of those changes to the clock.
• It helps set up additional clocks on your system.   

When Vetro Data Manager is running with your network, employee clock-ins and clock-outs are sent instantly to the server and can be viewed in TimePilot Central. If Vetro Data Manager isn't running, the software and the clock can't communicate, so the clock holds the employee clock-ins and clock-outs in its memory until Vetro Data Manager is started.

You can see if Vetro Data Manager is running by looking for its icon in your system tray (the area in the bottom right corner of your Windows screen, next to the clock). If you see the image of a small Vetro timeclock (shown at right), then Vetro Data Manager is running.

Starting Vetro Data Manager

You can start Vetro Data Manager several ways:

1. Start TimePilot Central. When TimePilot Central starts, so will Vetro Data Manager.
2. If you're running TimePilot Central, click the "File" menu, then "Vetro Data Manager."
3. Click the Windows Start button, then "All Programs" > "TimePilot IV" > "Vetro Data Manager."

Transferring changes made in TimePilot Central to the clock

There may be a time you need to make a change to the employee names or ID Numbers in the Vetro clock—perhaps an employee has changed his or her name, or a name has been misspelled. When you make the change in TimePilot Central, you'll be prompted to transfer the change to the clock. You can also manually transfer the change with Vetro Data Manager. Here's how:

1. Display the Vetro Data Manager screen by double-clicking its icon in the system tray. This screen will appear:
   
   
   
   
2. Click "Tools," then choose either "USB transfer setup changes to all Vetro clocks" or "Network transfer setup changes to all Vetro clocks." If your Vetro clock is connected to your local area network via Ethernet cable, choose the network version; otherwise, choose the USB version. Follow the instructions that appear.

Adding another clock to the system

Here's how to add another Vetro clock to your existing system:

1. Display the Vetro Data Manager screen by double-clicking its icon in the system tray. This screen will appear:
   
   
   
   
2. Click "Tools," then "Add new Vetro timeclock." The Vetro Setup Wizard will start. Follow the instructions that appear.
