Admins, Supervisors, and Employees can now view Attendance entries logs for a day on their Attendance Records.

On My Attendance Records Page, a new blue colour Action button is available. Clicking on it Employee can see all their entries for a day along with the mode of attendance capturing and Location. For Web check-in, IP Address is visible. For Biometric Login, Device IP Address is visible and for Mobile Login GPS location is visible. To view the location on Google map, click on the hyperlinked address mentioned in Location column.

Additionally, Admin can view all employees logs for a month in Attendance Logs tab under the Attendance Module.

Multiple modes of capturing attendance

Earlier, it was not possible to use web check-in and biometric together for marking attendance.

Ability to mark attendance from multiple modes such as biometric devices, mobile app and biometric allows flexibility to employees to record attendance from anyplace. This feature allows companies to manage remotely working and on-field employees in a better way. With multiple modes of recording attendance comes location tracking. On-field employees location can be tracked by viewing their attendance entries data and location.

Record multiple attendance entries through Web

Employees can now record their attendance as many times as desired by clicking on the ‘Mark Attendance’ button on Dashboard or My Attendance Records page.

On Dashboard, ‘Check In’ and ‘Check Out’ buttons are replaced with a single ‘Mark Attendance’ button. Check in and Check out are now automatically calculated by Quikchex System based on shift start and shift end time.

First Entry and Last Entry for the day can be seen below the ‘Mark Attendance’ button.
