Overview

If you are using Scheduling and Time Clock & Attendance you will have attendance notices that appear in the dashboard. These notices are there to let you know when users clock in late, forget to clock out, clock in at the wrong location, or forgot to clock in.

Considerations

  • The last seven days of attendance notices display on the dashboard.
  • Attendance notices are generated based off of the ‘How early can employees and supervisors clock in for a shift?’ and ‘Notify users when they miss a clock in/out’ menus in the Attendance Settings.

Attendance Notices Card

The Attendance Notices card show alerts related to your user’s attendance that need your attention.

a
Date

Notices are grouped by day.

The number highlighted in red displays the total notices for that date.

b

Clears all attendance notices for the last 7 days.
c
Filter

Filter attendance notices by type.

You can filter by type to easily narrow down notices that need your attention and identify trends in attendance.
