Symptom
This KBA explains how to enable workflows for manual time event creation and deletion in Clock In Clock Out.
But for the time events recorded through a physical terminal or a web/mobile based application, it is not needed nor supported to have a workflow.
It is because in such scenarios, it is not possible to specify the date/time as the time event is recorded the moment there is such a clock in or clock out done by the employee.
