Q2: I want TCMS V3 to automatically download the attendance logs from the device, without requiring me to manually download the data daily. Can TCMS V3 cater to my requirement?
A: Definitely. For your information, TCMS V3 performs automatic download on real-time basis when a device is connected to the software. However, if the connection is unstable, or the device’s connection is lost, you can set up an Automatic Download Interval. This can be done by following these steps: System Setting > System Parameter Setting > Attendance. By going here, you are given two options to set up the Automatic Download Interval, as explained below:
a) Auto Download Transaction Log Interval (HH:mm): You can key-in a value in HH:mm format for the automatic download process to run. For example, if you set 00:30, the system will automatically download the attendance logs every 30 minutes.
b) Specify daily download timer for the system to activate the automatic download process everyday: You can set up to two times for the data to be downloaded automatically on daily basis. You can insert the time that is desired for the automatic download process to run. For example, 10.00am and 7.00pm. By configuring this option, the system will automatically download the attendance logs at 10.00am and 7.00pm daily.
Note: To make sure that the download process runs correctly, you must ensure that you have ticked the option “Perform daily download when the computer is powered on” option, so that a Windows Service will be created to download the logs, even though Ingress software is not running at that moment. You must also ensure that you configure only ONE of the options above, either a or b, so that the system will not conflict between these two options.
Q3: I’m using TCMS V2 now and very much interested to switch to TCMS V3. How should I transfer the data from TCMS V2 software into TCMS V3 safely?
A3: We have prepared the Migration Wizard in TCMS V3 to migrate your TCMS V2 database into TCMS V3. Please note that the manually edited data in your TCMS V2’s attendance will not be migrated because the data migration only takes the raw clocking in your Audit list, and generate a new attendance sheet in TCMS V3. You can follow these steps to migrate your database into TCMS V3:
 |
a) Backup your TCMS V2 software, by following these steps: System Setting > Backup/Restore Database Files > Backup > Apply. Once done, you can get your database zip file in your TCMSv2 folder in your local drive. Note: You must make sure that you are using TCMS v2.2.027 to make the backup. If you are using an older version of TCMS v2, please first update your software to v2.2.027. The installer of TCMS v2.2.027 can be downloaded here
|
 |
| b) Next, open TCMS V3, and run the Migration Wizard for FingerTec TCMS v2, as shown below. |
 |
| c) Browse and select the TCMS v2 database .ZIP file that is located in your TCMSv2 folder, and click Upload. Follow the Wizard’s instruction until the migration process is complete. Once done, all your TCMS v2 data will be migrated into your TCMS v3 software, accordingly. |
Q4: Can TCMS V3 be shared into multiple PCs so that multiple users can log in to the software?
A4: No, TCMS v3 is designed to be used in a single PC, and cannot be shared or installed in multiple PCs, as it may corrupt the database of the software, thus causing data loss. However, multiple user accounts with different roles can be created in the software. To do so, you can go to System Setting > System User > User Roles and User Accounts.
Q5: Can TCMS v3 be configured to make automatic backups?
A5: Yes, you can set the daily backup timer for TCMS v3 by going to System Setting > Database Configuration > Set the time for automatic backup to run.
Q6: I have multiple branches that are using FingerTec’s Time Attendance devices. Can I connect all those remote devices to my TCMS v3, which is located at the Head Office?
A6: Yes, you can use Dynamic DNS or Port Forwarding to connect your remote devices to your TCMS V3. To connect devices that are using Dynamic DNS or Port Forwarding, you must check the “Quick Connect” when you add your devices.
Q7: Can I monitor user’s transactions in TCMS V3 on real-time basis?
A7: Yes, you can go to the Monitoring tab to view all the transactions that have been done at your terminal(s) on real-time basis. To ensure that Monitoring module runs properly, please make sure that the device’s connection with the software is stable.
Q8: I cannot access my device’s menu, as the previous administrator has resigned from our company. How do I reset the device to enter the device’s menu? Can it be done through TCMS V3?
A8: If your device is blocked by administrator’s privilege, resetting the device will not solve your problem. You just need to clear the administrator privilege in your device to access the menu. This can be done in TCMS V3 by going to Devices > Double-Click Device Name > Other > Clear Admin Privilege. Once done, you will be able to access the device menu, to register a new administrator.
Q9: I want to assign leaves to some users. How do I do that in TCMS v3?
A9: You can assign leaves to users by going to Scheduling & Attendance > User Duty Planner > Double-click User name > Edit > Right-click on the leave’s start date > Leave Type > Select Leave Type and Effective Date > Save.
Q10: How do I configure the Public Holidays in TCMS V3?
A10: You can assign the public holidays into your duty calendar by going to Scheduling & Attendance > Holiday List > Select Calendar or List View > Edit. There are two options to set the holidays, which are by using the Calendar View, or the List View.
If you are using the Calendar View, you can set the holiday by double-clicking on the holiday date on the calendar, then assign the Holiday Description and the effective date.
 |
| If you are using the List View, you can click on the Add button, and define the Holiday Description and its effective date. |
Q11: What is the default username and password to login the TCMS V3 software?
A: You can refer to the following information for your login credentials on TCMS V3 software
Username: admin
Password: 123
Q12: For security purposes, I want to change the default password of TCMS V3 software. How do I do that?
A12: You may change the default login password by going to the TCMSv3 icon > Change Password > Change password box will be prompted out - fill in the password details > Click Update once you finished changing the password
Old Password: 123
New Password: Fill in your new preferred password [ to increase the security: use at least 8 characters with capital letters and numbers]
Confirm Password: Reconfirm the new password
Q13: Why does Click to sync all device info message keeps popping up in TCMS V3?
A: Once you have made any changes in TCMS V3 software (e.g: edit users’ details, change device settings such change IP address, etc.), TCMSv3 will prompt out this message to inform the user to update the changes into the device(s) to complete the whole process.
Once you make any changes [eg: add user’s password] > Click to sync all device info message prompted out > Click Start Synchronize > Choose which devices to be updated with recent changes > Click Start Synchronize to update the changes
Q14: It is very time consuming to update the details for each user one by one [e.g.: issuance date]. How can I maximize my task in handling the users’ update details?
A14: You can update multiple users’ details by using the Batch Update User option. You can refer below for options offered in Batch Update User tab: You may select the users by department or individual users > Select the options that you want to update by batch > Click Save
• Department – To change the department of a group of users.
• Issuance date – To change users’ issue date as it will be reflected on the attendance sheet.
• Expiry date – Setting the expiry date of a group of users. The transaction data will not appear in the attendance sheet after the expiry date.
• Suspended – You can suspend a group of users and block them from accessing the device.
• Group Duty Roster – To change the Group Duty Roster of a group of users.
Q15: Can I add an Access Control Device into TCMS V3?
A15: For your information, TCMS V3 is a time attendance software and it is designed for time attendance devices. It does not support door access features and can only be used for time attendance solution. Hence it is recommended for you to activate your door access device in Ingress software, which is bundled with your Access Control devices, so that you can fully utilize the door access features.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteDo you have auto Integration option in TCMS V3. Ex: Biometric data from TCMS has to to integrated to our Payroll System ( like Oracle Database)
Regards
Sai Krishna
Hi Sai Krishna,
DeleteBy default, TCSMv3 Software can't pull any data directly from the software to the Oracle database or any third party software. You can only export the attendance in Attendance and import into your third party software. However, you may use our FTDP software to integrate with your third party Oracle database
You can use the FTDP software to integrate with MSSQL & Oracle database.

ReplyDeleteHi Husna,
ReplyDeleteWe have did FTDP connected to our 3rd Party Payroll system.
Now how to link FTDP to TCMS V3.
FTDP dont have the auto generation of the data. so how can we integrate auto generated data from TCMS V3 to 3rd party software.
Regards
Sai Krishna
Hi Sai Krishna,
DeleteKindly be informed that the FTDP cannot be link with our new TCMSv3 software. In this case, you can connect the terminal with both FTDP and TCMSv3 software where you can directly download the transaction log from the terminal itself. However please take note, make sure you do not remove or delete the transaction log inside the terminal before you finish transferring all the data to both software.
Regarding the integration between TCMSv3 and 3rd party software, you only can export the Attendance record from TCMSv3 to excel or text format before you can import all the data to the 3rd party software. For details info, you can refer to TCMSv3 manual page 66.

DeleteGood day to you.
Referring to your problem, you can use Multiple Shift configuration from this link:
http://www.fingertec.com/newsletter/Jan2013/as-01.html
Please be informed that the above sample configuration is done on TCMS v2 software. The configuration will be similar in other software including TCMS v3, although with slight difference in the interface. If you have any further query regarding this, please revert back to us with the software you are referring to for us to provide assistance accordingly.

Hi I have a slight problem. I was testing the ac100c for first use at a clients office and I see that the clock out records don't show in tcmsv3>attendance sheet while the records are downloaded from the device.
ReplyDeleteany suggestions what it may be?
The clock in record is visible in the attendance sheet.
Hi Sir,
DeleteGood day.
Firstly, you need to make sure that you already activate your device. You can go to device, click on your device list, then click activate.
After that, any clocking data that you download from device, will be stored in data audit list. ( attendance > data audit list)
Check whether your data was there or not.
After that, the data will be shown on the attendance sheet based on your clocking schedule.
If the data available on your data audit list, but not appear on attendance sheet, there is something problem with your clocking schedule setting.
Thanks and best regards,
Tengku Sulaiman

hi ,just want to know, tcmsv2 support port forwarding 4370 from branch terminal to open at HQ tcmsv2.
ReplyDeleteHi Mr.Udin,
DeleteYes, TCMSv2 supported to connect the device via port forwarding connection.
You will need to do the settings on the router with the help of your IT expertise. Once you can ping the readers from the main branch, you will be able to add the device to TCMSv2 and download the data from all branches.
Hi, want to know did TCMSv3 able to automatic run [Export Audit Data] types 2?
ReplyDeleteI need to export the data as below format for upload to my another system use.
TTTTTDDMMYYhhmmssUUUUUUUUU0000
Dear Oh Choon How,
DeleteReferring to your query and to Export Data Audit List automatically after downloading, you can go to Scheduling & Attendance > Data Audit List > select Export Data Audit > select Type 2 and configure your format data > select the Output Target and tick on Append data to existing output file > press Ok.
For details you can refer the picture from this link http://prntscr.com/eyj8ot
Regards.
Yes, I know this features, But may I know how to make it automatically export this data audit list ?
ReplyDeleteHello Sir,
DeleteTo download the transaction log automatically, you can set under System Settings > System Parameter Settings > Attendance tab. Here you choose either want to set automatic download interval function, where you can configure the software to download the transaction automatically, or you can determine the preferred time and the time interval for the downloads. For details configuration, you can refer to the following tips:
http://www.fingertectips.com/2017/01/automatically-download-generate.html
Please take note, make sure you tick on 'Append data to existing output file' at the Export Data Audit option. Regards.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteAs per your mention as above, as long as tick on 'Append data to existing output file' at the Export Data Audit option, is it system will automatically export the data audit list after automatically download the transaction log?
Can output file name automatically save to different name follow by date, format like YYYYMMDD.txt ?
Eg. download on 03/05/2017 system will automatically save the data audit list to file name 20170503.txt
Hi Sir,
DeleteGood day to you.
Currently the system doesn't has option to generate the new files follow by date. So if you want to the system auto append to the existing output files, you need to specify the location to save and the file name manually.
Hello Sir,
ReplyDeleteWe connect TA500 R machine using real IP address over internet and we are using Ingress Client and server, when we trying to download the finger prints, it takes very long time and MySql DB crashes(Ingress Server can not initialize DB any more) although other FingerTec devices in our local network are working fine.
Hi Sir,
DeleteGood day to you
Is it a new installation for TA500 in the Ingress? For your information, TA500 can only support 1-to-1 connection. If it is connected to 1 software, another software cannot connect to the device. Since Ingress uses Client-Server connection, the server will continuously send a ping signal to know the status of the device, whether it is connected or not. Other operations will have problems when you want to transfer data from/to Ingress. Hence, if you're using Ingress, you will have problems when you want to transfer data from/to Ingress. Thus, we suggest you to use TA500 with the time attendance software [TCMSv3].
I have installed TCMS V3 with Admin account and imported data from TCMS v2 successfully. Software works fine with Admin ID except that it gives a msg when TCMSv3 opens that "You must restart your system for the configuration changes made to FingerTec TCMSv3" this msg comes every time. When a general user logins in to workstation to use this software, he also gets the same error and another error that "Database Server connection error ......" and the window closes itself and program terminates. please advise how to address these issues. User do not have admin right on the workstations.
ReplyDeleteHi Sir,
DeleteGood day to you.
Regarding on your issue we are suggesting you to take some screenshot:
1) Error message
2) TCMSv3 Software (Click Ingress Icon > Select about us)
Then send all the information to support@fingertec.com, and the system will automatically generate a new ticket number.
Hi, Good day.
ReplyDeleteI would like to ask a question for second installation.
Why we can't get back the previous data ?
For example, we reinstalled ingress on 16 May 2017.
The data only download from 16 May 2017 and lost the previous data (Jan-April)..
How can we get back all the transaction data from FaceID2?
Thank you.
Hi Sir,
DeleteGood day to you.
Firstly, May I know you are using Ingress with MySQL or MDB database?
Then for the transaction data in the Face ID2, it will keep remain in the device, unless :
- Manually delete transaction data in the device
- Set to delete transaction data after successfully download in the Ingress software.
Lastly, Kindly backup your Ingress database, then send all the information to support@fingertec.com
Hi Sir,
ReplyDeleteThank you.
MDB Database.
But the computer had been reformatted. All data lost.
I try to download the transaction data to/ from USB.
However the date is start from 16 May 2017 (log.dat) until today only.
Do you have any method to retrive back all transaction log in device (FaceID2)?
Thank you so much.
Hi Sir,
DeleteGood day to you,
In the software, the system will read the whole transaction data stored the device in the USB file. However, if you already deleted the previous transaction data manually or set automatic delete during your previous download process, so you will not be able to retrieve your previous data.
As an example, refer this picture http://prntscr.com/fc78jd [ if the data still existed in the device, you should be able to view all the previous data ]
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI wish to migrate TCMS V3 with it's data files etc. to another computer.

Then you can restore back the database at the other computer after you install the TCMSv3 software by go to System Setting > Database Configuration > select Restore. Regards.

BEST REGARD.
Hi Sir,
DeleteFor your kind information, for the new device, the time attendance device will bundle with TCMSv3 software. But if you want to activate it in TCMSv2 software, you need to purchase separate license. You can provide your device serial number first so that we can check your device details when you purchase this device.

Dear Ahmed Khalid,
DeleteGood day to you.
With regards to your query, please refer below details to answer your inquiries :
1-You may add 3 device with different location in TCMSv3 by setting your device ip address with port forwarding/VPN as TCMSv3 support connection using port forwarding/VPN.
2-Please note that if staff 123 only registered in Device A, you need to download user's information into the software,then upload user information into Device B and Device C so that staff 123 able to login into Device B and Device C.

Dear Mohamad,
ReplyDeleteregarding point #2
this mean that for each user update/add, we need to download all users information from A to SW and then upload users information to B and C, will this generate duplications in B and C or not?
Hi Ahmed,
DeleteIf your device have all the same user details inside it, you can just register all the new user from device A, then download it to the software. After that, just upload all the user info to the other device from the software. The user data will not duplicate if all the user using the different user ID. It will follow the latest data that upload from the software.

HI sir,
ReplyDeleteI have problem, i cant' add device use port forwarding,
i already set ip address at port forwarding modem
Hi Sir,
DeleteRegarding on the port forwarding settings, firstly please double check the connection devices in the local connection, if the device able to connect to the PC, that means the device doesn't has any issue to connect with the network.
For the port forwarding connection. You will need to do the settings on the router with the help of your IT expertise. Once you can ping the readers from the main branch, you will be able to add the device to Software and download the data from all branches.

Hi, I want to ask if i can create a custom report in TCMS V.3??
ReplyDeleteHi Sir,
DeleteAll the existing report is fixed and not support for customization.
TCMSv3/Ingress Software also not has option for client to customize report in the software.
Sorry for inconvenience caused.
I need to connect three devices on same software tcms v3 and the employee fingered from any device....how?
ReplyDeleteDear Sir,
DeleteIn regards to your inquiry, please make sure all the 3 devices are connected to the TCMSV3 software. After that, you may enroll all the user inside the first device then download the user details into the TCMSv3 software. Then, you may upload the respective user from the software into the rest of the devices
the ip of three devices are same or not ?
DeleteDear Sir,
DeleteFrom the software and device, you can assign the different IP address so that you can differentiate between the device and you cannot add the device using the same IP address. So, the IP address should be different from each others.

Sir/Madam,
ReplyDeleteGood morning.
I would like to ask a question.
TCMSV2 software can generate one year - employees shedule.
However, Ingress software will automatically change to original shedule after downloading attendance from devices.
How to set up fixed shedule for each employee in one year instead of generating their fixed shedule on every month?
Thank you so much.
Best Regards.
Hello Sir/Madam,
DeleteGood day to you.
With regards to your query, please be informed that Ingress software also can generate schedule for the whole year like how TCMSv2 did. Go to Attendance tab > Group Duty Roster > Edit > Auto Schedule > Select Effective date from the 1st of January until 31st of December to mark it as a year > Save.
Please revert back with further explanation should above recommendation did not suite your requirement as I can assist you better.

Dear Mr. Mike,

However, all the other data inside that database will also restored in that PC such as user data, device data, attendance data and schedule data. That is the only way to copy the holiday data from one PC to another.

Dear Khalid,
DeleteWith regards to your query, for the migration process, it is important for you to use the latest version of both software, to make sure that the process can be done without any problem.
First of all, update the patch file from the software by following this steps:
1) Download the latest ft.exe file from this new link:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.fingertec.com/Faiz+Tools/TCMSv2+Software+FT+Setup/ft-73+22027+220317.exe
2) Rename the downloaded file to "ft.exe" (remove all the numbers in the file name, and leave it as ft.exe or ft)
3) Copy the above file, and paste it in TCMS v2 folder (Local Disk C > Program Files (x86) > Fingertec Worldwide > TCMSv2) to replace the existing ft.exe file or you may also rename the existing ft.exe to another name [for example: ftold.exe] before you want to paste the new downloaded ft.exe file
4) Relaunch TCMSv2 software - Run as administrator [go to System Settings > What's new in the release > Make sure the version is updated: v2.2.027 22-03-2017
Then, backup the file from the latest TCMSv2 software.
After you get this file, you can use this file to migrate the data from Ingress using TCMSv2 backup.
You can get the latest TCMSv3 installer from here:

Hi, I would like to know if we could customize the tcms v3 report column. meaning to say i can choose whichever column to be displayed?
ReplyDeleteand can we allow our staffs to define workcodes for checkin/out/break/resume occasionally, for any type of schedule whether it'd be daily/weekly/flexi schedule.
and by defining workcode, i meant to say like our staff can enter the workcode before they get their thumbprint verified. is there such privilege for our staff?
ReplyDeleteDear Sir,
DeleteRegarding your query, the report template already fixed. If you want to get only specific data from the software, you can export the attendance sheet by configure the template so that you only get the data that you already configure from the template. For the work code, if you are using daily or weekly, the work code only can be shown for the first transaction, the rest cannot be preview unless you are using flexi with job cost enable.

Hello Dalilo Calu,
DeleteGood day to you.
TCMSv3 only support to install in a single PC, and database (MDB) cannot share into others PC.
So from your requirement, we are suggesting you to use Ingress with MYSQL database, because it's support for Server and Client connection.
That means, in your server, you can install Ingress Server and another 5pcs PC, you can install Ingress Client.
You can download Ingress server and client from this link : http://www.fingertec.com/software/index.html
And for more information to connect Ingress server and client, can refer to this link : http://www.fingertectips.com/2013/12/step-to-setup-ingress-server-and.html

However if you cannot find the latest transaction log inside the Data Audit List, kindly try to restart the Ingress/TCMSv3 service and Attendance Service from Control Panel > Administrator tools > Services, then check the status. Regards.
No... no transaction has been captured and i already restarted TCMSv3 service in control panel. What else can i do?

ReplyDeleteHI I have some issues to export report to Sage UBS Payroll software. May I know is employee ID in TCMS v3 software is same with employee code in Sage UBS payroll software. I tried few times still failed to export
ReplyDeleteHello
DeleteReferring to your query and for your info, you can choose either Employee ID or User ID when you want to export the report to Sage UBS Payroll. The ID that you have selected and create from the TCMSv3 software must be same like ID that you have key in and use in the UBS Payroll system. If not, you could not upload or export the record to the payroll system (refer picture http://prntscr.com/m8fixu).

Hi all,
ReplyDeleteDoes it matter if the Amperage of the dc adapter is less than 800Ma?
It seems that the device is looping in restart mode when I attach the ethernet cable, but when I pull it out the device works as normal.
I have replaced the original dc adapter.

DeleteKindly take note that the minimum Amperage of the DC adapter that can supported by our device is 1.5 Amp.

Dear Fingertec,
ReplyDeleteCan I run TCMSv3 without giving UAC permissions, TCMSv2 didn't use to ask me, and generally don't like to give users local admin rights.
Best regards, Andreas
Hello Andreas,
DeleteThe TCMS v3 must run with admin privilege in order to make sure that the software able to operated successfully. There is some software services need to be ensure run efficiently in the background. That is the reason you need to run the software with admin privilege.

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteSince we will be implementing new working hours (Waktu Berkerja Flexi aka WBF) is there a guide on how to achieve this? AFAIK, there is two main concern,
1- any staff punch in after their clocking schedule, must complete 9h working hours for that day. For example, staff A clocking schedule is 8:00am but thumb in on 8:13am. He must complete 9 working hours which mean staff A thumb out must be on 5:14pm.Lower than 5:14pm... the Thumb Out should be in RED.
2- how to set work column in report/electronic time card RED if its below 9H?
thanks
