6. How Can an Employee View Their Personal Data?


An employee can access their personal information by going to their employee profile:

  1. Click on your name/profile in the top right corner.

  2. This opens your employee card, where you can see all relevant personal details.

  3. Depending on the permissions given, you may also have the option to edit certain details.

7. Initial Setup of a Biometric Device


By the time you receive the device, it has already been pre-configured based on your requirements and for the employees registered in the Wemply system.

  • Installation Location: You can choose where to install the device.

  • Internet Connection: It is recommended to connect the device via an Ethernet cable for stability.

  • However, many domains today use Wi-Fi instead.

8. How to Add an Employee’s Fingerprint, Face, or Card to the Device?


Administrators have the right to manage employees and update their details, including adding biometric data (fingerprint, facial recognition, or access card), depending on the device.

Additionally, specific employees can be assigned the role of "Biometric Device Administrator" to manage biometric registrations.

9. How to Log Working Hours Using a Biometric Device?


Depending on the settings, logging work hours can be as simple as scanning your registered face or fingerprint, and the system will automatically start or stop tracking your work time.

Alternatively, we can configure the device to require confirmation after identification—prompting employees to select whether they are starting or ending their shift.

Let us know your preference, and we can adjust the settings accordingly!

10. What Is a Custom Field and How Does It Work?

A extra field (extra table) in Wemply allows you to store additional information that was not previously available for input.

For example, when you add custom fields to an employee profile, they work just like other standard data fields.

Important Note:
Custom fields are module-specific, meaning they do not sync automatically across different sections, even if they have the same or similar names.

11. How to Test Wemply Configurations with Multiple Users?


If you're unsure how a specific permission group works or how it appears to employees, you can create a "demo" employee for testing.

Best way to test:

  1. Create a demo employee in Wemply.

  2. Log in with the demo account using an incognito/private browsing window.

  3. This allows you to be logged into both the admin and demo accounts simultaneously, so you can see real-time changes from both perspectives.

12. How to Customize Viewable Table Columns?


To adjust the columns displayed in a view:

  1. Click on the purple gear icon next to the view name.

  2. A menu will open where you can select which columns to show.

  3. Drag and drop columns into the green section to rearrange them—top to bottom corresponds to left to right in the table.

For Administrators:
Admins can also change default table settings for the entire domain. This means that users who haven’t manually customized their view will see the same column order as set by the admin.

13. Why Doesn’t the File Contain the Same Columns as the Table View?


The columns shown in the table view and the columns exported in a file are separate settings.

To adjust the file’s columns:

  1. Click on the purple gear icon next to the view name.

  2. Select "Modify File Columns" to choose which columns should appear in the exported file.

This allows you to customize both on-screen tables and exported reports independently.

14. How to View Only Employees and Work Hours Related to a Specific Site?(Object)


If you want to see work hours for a specific site (object) without filtering employees separately:

  1. Filter by site(s) only – this will show the scheduled work hours related to the selected site(s).

  2. Make sure you have the necessary permissions to view work schedules for that site.

This method helps focus on site-specific work data while keeping the employee list dynamic.

15. What Does "Can View / Can Edit / No Access/Permission" Mean Under "Type"?


The "Type" option under permissions typically refers to settings or more detailed selections that users can access.

For example, in leave types:

  • "Can View" → The user can see detailed information about when and how a specific leave type applies.

  • "Can Edit" → The user can modify these settings.

  • "No Access" → The user cannot see or change this information.

This applies similarly to other system configurations where different levels of access are required.

16. Restricting Viewing/Editing of extra Fields and Tables


Every custom field and table can be managed and restricted based on permission groups.

  • Custom Fields → These include extra employee data fields, approval fields for multi-level approvals, and other non-default system fields.

  • Custom Tables → Used for storing documents, orders, or records. For example:

    • A manager can edit (add/modify records).

    • A regular employee can only view them.

This allows for controlled access while keeping necessary information visible to the right users.

17. What Does “Restricted Data” Mean on an Employee’s Card?

In permission groups, you can set employee basic data visibility/editing to partial access. This means:

Editable fields (by employee or direct manager):

  • Personal ID number

  • Phone number

  • Email

  • Language

  • Profile picture

  • Allowed custom fields

Viewable fields (for subordinates):

  • First name & Last name

  • Phone number & Email

  • Job title

  • Direct managers

  • Groups

  • Allowed custom fields

This ensures employees can update their essential details, while managers see relevant team information.

18. Why does the length of leave differ from the number of days?

It is possible to configure different settings for leave types based on the desired leave category (or country regulations).

For example, April 18, 2025, is Good Friday, and April 20, 2025, is Easter Sunday. Both are public holidays and considered non-working days. Depending on the settings, the total length of leave may vary accordingly.

19. Why is an employee "greyed out" in the table, and I can't assign working hours?

This usually happens for one of two reasons:

  1. The employee’s contract start or end date falls outside the filtered period.

  2. The employee’s contract has a specific assigned location (object). If incorrect locations (or none at all) are filtered in the work schedule, working hours cannot be assigned.

If it is not necessary to restrict the employee to a specific location for work hours, you can remove this restriction from their contract to make scheduling easier. Just ensure that the employee has an assigned location under their basic information so that work hours are automatically linked.
