About the Batch Entry Feature

Batch entry is a data collection feature that allows an employee to add job time into the system after the job is complete. This is most useful for the person who is working on small runs where it is unrealistic for them to go to the clock every time they start and stop a new job. Instead, they can record their time on a time sheet and periodically go to the clock to add the jobs they've completed thus far.
