Transactions Overview

GTConnect serves as a central hub for viewing all transactions (punches) received from the time clocks. Each transaction is sent instantly from the device to GTConnect, and then immediately passed along to TimeStar.

GTConnect data is especially useful for system administrators to monitor communication between time clocks and TimeStar. Seeing recent transactions in GTConnect helps confirm that your devices are online and communicating with the system. If a punch is missing in TimeStar, you can check GTConnect first to verify whether a punch was made at the time clock.

While it provides a real-time view of IN and OUT punches, it does not calculate totals or display timesheet summaries. TimeStar remains the system of record for full timesheet processing.

There are three ways to view transactions (punches) in GTConnect:

1. Device level – view transactions captured by a specific device.
2. Person level – view transactions for an individual employee.
3. Company level – view all transactions across the organization.
