# How to allow candidates to choose the time when they clock in and out

## The system by default automatically captures the time when a candidate hits the clock in or clock out button, but in your case you may want to allow them to choose the time themselves, there is a setting to enable this!

To enable the setting for candidates to choose the time when they clock in and out, from the admin dashboard click on any candidate, go to their "Profile" tab, within that go the "My Jobs" tab and click on the gear icon on the jobs table:

From the settings dialog that opens, check on the setting "Candidates manually clock in and out of jobs":
