Getting Started

1. Add the bot

First, add TimeCord to your server.

2. Open the dashboard

Go to the TimeCord Dashboard and log in with Discord.

Logging in uses Discord OAuth2, so we never see your password or any sensitive account data. You can read more about Discord OAuth2 here.

3. Configure your server

Select your server, then fill in the core fields:

1. Management role - the role allowed to manage the bot (your admins).

2. On-duty role - the role the bot gives members while they are clocked in.

3. Duty channel - where clock in / clock out messages are posted.

4. Log channel - where administrative actions are logged.

Optional settings

• Auto-hire on join - automatically hire members when they join. Hiring is what lets someone track time; you can dismiss them later if needed.

• Autoroles - pick roles that hire a member when added and dismiss them when removed.

4. Set your timezone and week start

So that daily and weekly totals match your team's calendar:

• Run /timezone and set your IANA timezone (for example Europe/Berlin). The default is UTC.

• Run /weekstart and choose the day your week begins on (premium).

See Statistics & Time for details.

5. Hire your members

Use /employee with the hire action to allow a member to track time. To hire a lot of people at once, use /role add (premium) to hire everyone with a given role. See Commands.

6. Generate the time clock

Run /tracking and pick the generate action. This posts a message with Clock in and Clock out buttons that your members use to track their time.

That's it. Your members can now clock in and out, and you can view time with /info, /overview, /leaderboard, and /export.
