Attendance Box

Today's attendance at a glance — who's present, absent, on time off, or taking a short break. Click any status to drill into the employees behind the number.

The Attendance Box surfaces the live attendance status of your entire organization. Selecting any card opens a detailed list of the employees in that state, so HR and managers can act on gaps in real time.

The Five Status Tiles

👍
Present
Checked in today
👎

Not checked in
⏱️
Time Off
Full-day leave
🗓️
Unscheduled Shift
No shift assigned
Short Time Off
Partial-day break
The Attendance Box header — live status counts with the current time.

Click for Details

Select any status card and a detailed list opens below, showing the employees who fall into that category — with their ID, name, and department.

Detail view — click "Present" or "Absent" to see the employees in each state.

What It Unlocks

Real-time view

Updated as employees check in — no waiting for end-of-day reports.

🎯
Targeted action

Reach out to absent employees directly from the drill-down list.

📊
Pattern tracking

Spot recurring absence or unscheduled-shift issues before they escalate.

💡 Tip

Use the detailed list to export employee names for shift-coverage planning or a quick follow-up round.

📝 Note

Status counts refresh as check-ins happen throughout the day. Late check-ins move an employee from "Absent" to "Present" automatically.
