Setup

This section details the setup and maintenance of the Attendance Management module that system administrators are required to perform.

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.

System administrators 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.

After all events, time periods, violations, and process tasks are set up, only maintenance is required.
