Introduction-
TimeTec has introduced a new feature to assist in moving your current Windows-Based data to our Smart Solution: TimeTec TA via migration tool.

The ‘Export’ function for migration to TimeTec TA is ONLY available in the latest version of Ingress/TCMS V3 Software listed here

The types of data suitable for migration are as follows:

i. Company Hierarchy (names of departments and sections)
ii. Attendance Rules and Calculations (clocking schedules, group duty roster, holidays, leave types)
iii. Employees’ Biodata (name, address, phone, designation, etc)
iv. Employees’ Verification Credentials (ID, fingerprints, password, card ID)

Below are the steps needed in order to carry out the migration:

Steps-
A) Export Database from Ingress/TCMS V3 Software
1) Launch Ingress/TCMS V3 Software and click on the Ingress/TCMS V3 logo > Migration Wizard > Export > Timetec TA.


2) Browse path to locate your database file, and click Backup.


3) Once it is finished, the system will prompt an Export Successful message to notify the users.


B) Migration to TimeTec TA

2) Choose the system to upload the file as well as browse the database that you’ve already exported in Step A.
