Viewing Time Punches from the Schedule
When viewing a published shift in the Schedule, you may see a Time Punch tab. This tab shows whether there’s a time punch associated with that shift—helping you more easily track and manage your team’s hours.
⚠️ Prerequisites
The Time Punch tab will appear if you are an Admin or Manager/Assistant Manager user with both of the following permissions:
- Can manage schedules
- Can manage time punches
How It Works
The Time Punch tab appears in the shift modal on the schedule on past, published shifts. Click on a shift to open the shift modal.
- The Time Punch tab will only appear on a past, published shift.
- If a shift is still in draft, the second tab will be the Time Off tab, used for scheduling time off.
- If a shift is published but hasn't started yet, there will be no second tab in the shift modal.
Steps to Access:
- From the 7shifts web app, go to the Schedule.
- Click on a past, published shift.
- Open the Time Punch tab.
What you see will depend on your account setup and activity:
✅ If a time punch exists
You’ll see the punch details, including breaks and tips if they’re enabled.
⚠️ Note: Punches on the schedule are view-only. To make changes, head to the Time Clocking page.
🚫 If no punch exists
You’ll see a “No time punch found” message.
⚠️ Note: There is no direct link to add a punch. You’ll need to navigate to the Time Clocking page to enter one manually.
🔌 If your location hasn’t connected labor data
You’ll see a Connect Labor Data prompt to help you set up time tracking via POS integration or 7punches.
Additional Notes
- Breaks and declared tips will appear in the Time Punch tab if they exist and the features are enabled.
- Labor exceptions (e.g. missed breaks, overtime alerts) are not shown in the Time Punch tab at this time.
-
If a shift was created after a punch was logged (like for a last-minute call-in), you’ll see “No punch found.”
Tip: Edit the existing time punch after publishing the shift to link them together.
