✅ Attendance

How do staff check in?
  1. Admin creates QR (Company Portal → User & QR → QR Management) and assigns staff/groups.
  2. Staff logs into User Portal/PWA → allows GPS.
  3. Method 1 — Scan QR: open camera in app → scan QR at gate → system records check-in/out.
  4. Method 2 — Saved QR: after first scan, QR is saved on phone → just be near location + tap check-in.
  5. Method 3 — Fingerprint (if activated): User Portal → fingerprint check-in.
How is total working time calculated?

Mode 1 — Including break: Total = (last check-out) − (first check-in) for the day.

Example: Check-in 9am → check-out 6pm → Total = 9h (including lunch break)

Mode 2 — Excluding break: Pair check-in/out separately.

Example: Check-in 9am → out 12pm → in 2pm → out 6pm → Total = 3h + 4h = 7h

Configure at Company Portal → Attendance Config → "Subtract break time".

How to activate Fingerprint?
  • User Portal → Account → "Enable Fingerprint Login" (activates for current device)
  • Then go to Company List → "Activate fingerprint attendance" per company
  • Changing device: Admin must clear fingerprint for the staff before they re-register on new device
Check-in keeps spinning?
  • Clear browser cache and try again
  • Check if GPS is enabled for the browser
  • Check if QR is still active and within allowed time frame
