How Do I Set The Staff Prompt Configuration

The Tempora prompt is a tool to remind staff to complete their timesheets. The Tempora prompt links the staff member's machine to Tempora. When a timesheet is late the prompt can then send the user a notification, pop up or even lock the machine until the staff member submits their timesheet. You may wish to have different prompt settings for different staff members, the guide below will show you how this is configured.
