3. [Field Attendance] - Web - Field Attendance Feature Optimization
The field attendance function has been optimized with the addition of binding and restricting employee clock-in devices. When selecting "Day" in [Attendance] → [Attendance Overview], the shift and clock-in time will be displayed, and an attendance status filter has been added.
The field attendance feature is restricted by default. Employees are allowed to use the field attendance feature unless otherwise configured. Admin or HR users can adjust this setting through the Attendance Configuration in the Web portal.
Binding and restricting clock-in devices for employees is designed to prevent situations where employees clock in on behalf of others. This can also be managed in the attendance configuration, where devices can be unbound if necessary. The unbinding process is typically done when an employee leaves the company or when they need to change their device. This action can only be performed by Admin or HR users.
In the Attendance Overview, selecting "Day" will display the actual schedule for the day along with the corresponding clock-in data. The filtering feature has been enhanced with the addition of an attendance status filter.
