Did you know we have a stand-alone service clock feature?
Many dealers use the Clock screen in Aspen that requires multiple steps to access:
- Log into the Aspen console
- Navigate to the sales menu
- Navigate to the clock option
- Then they can finally select a work order to clock on or off.
Many of these steps can be eliminated by simply installing the stand-alone clock on each workstation where the user is clocking in and out of work orders.

- To use the stand-alone option, the installation should be done by the administrators of your hardware. It requires a copy of the “Service Clock” folder from the “Interface Source” files that get installed in the “Aspen” folder on the workstation.
- Once the folder is present, the application executable can be added to the workstation desktop as a shortcut. You will see an icon that looks like this:

Simply double click the icon, and it takes you straight to the Clock screen.
- From this screen, you can select your “Aspen User ID” from the drop-down menu and enter your PIN to access the Clock screen that you see in the console. Many techs will just leave this screen open all day.
