Unallocated button

Unallocated button
 
This window may appear during the conversion process. It means that, although clock movements have been found for a particular button, that button was not assigned to anybody at the time the movements were created. There may be various reasons for this: you handed a button to an employee and omitted to enter the details into the system, a new employee received a button and neither the employee's details nor the button issue were recorded, etc.
