Setup

The Attendance Management module is made up of four major components:

  • Events: A single, recorded incident. For example, an employee arriving to work 10 minutes late or an employee arriving to work on time are both events.
  • Time periods: A span of time during which events accumulate and are compared against a violation. For example, tracking late days per week or punctual days per month.
  • Violations: A collection of events. A violation represents a threshold that triggers an action when it is reached.
  • Actions: The result of a violation; the defined steps taken by the application in response to the violation.

You must perform these tasks to set up Attendance Management:

  • Set up events.
  • Set up time periods, if necessary.
  • Set up violations.
  • Set up processing of events and violations.
  • Configure Attendance Management.
