Once you enabled this option, the option Late check-in range will appear. 

Here you can determine a time frame in minutes where employees are allowed to check in later to their scheduled shift or working hours. 


Be aware that for some specific companies some settings like Late check-in range will be pre-set, so turned on or turned off, and you as an admin are not able to change the respective setting.





If these options are enabled, you will see them as new taps in People.




Attendance Categories


With the Attendance Categories employees will be able to choose categories for their attendance entries. To enable Attendance Categories:





You can create your own categories and subcategories for your employees.


  • Add a Category Name
  • Define a category color 
  • Toggle on the switch at Who should be able to see this category? when you want the category to be visible to everyone



Add custom category 


  • Toggle off the switch and define a company, division, department or team that should see this category 
  • When you want only one or several specific employees to see a category: 
    • Toggle off the switch and define the employee's company
    • Select a specific employee by typing in their name in the search bar





Note: The categories without any subcategory will be selectable when tracking the attendance. However, if a category has subcategories, that category won't be selectable, so the employees would have to select a subcategory of that parent category instead.
