I think this is as “official” as it’s going to get for the next while. The added feature ( **`Log Entity State`** ) has allowed us to build a _basic_ TimeClock, but the feature can also be used for many other things (i.e. tracking table usage)… My guess is _that_ is the _primary reason_ for this feature addition, because it is not specific to TimeClock. I think we’ll be waiting a long while for an “official” TimeClock… That said, this feature is _very_ powerful, and can be used to build a very decent TimeClock Implementation, _immediately_. How you do it is up to you. @Jesse, in his implementation, links Employee `Entities` to `Users` and the `Login/Logout` mechanism, while _my_ posted implementation is _very_ basic to show _minimum requirements_ to implement it… > [@Time Clock - Basic - Employee Entities (not users)](http://forum.sambapos.com/t/time-clock-basic-employee-entities-not-users/2881): > > Basic TimeClock implementation using Employee Entities (not Users) and 2 Entity States called PunchIn and PunchOut.
