The Auto Attendance feature allows certain employees (e.g. top management or specific positions) to have their attendance automatically generated based on their working schedule — no manual check-in/out needed. However, Auto Attendance must be enabled both in the Policy and for each individual employee.


Step 1: Go to Settings

  • Click the User Icon from the main menu.

  • Select Settings.


Step 2: Navigate to Policies

  • In the Settings menu, click on the Policies tab.

  • Select the policy where you want to enable Auto Attendance.

  • After clicking on the policy, you will land on the About Policy page.


Step 3: Enable Auto Attendance at Policy Level

  • Scroll down to the Other Settings (These settings will affect this policy) section.

  • On the right side, you will see the Auto Attendance Toggle.

  • Turn this toggle ON to allow Auto Attendance for employees under this policy.

Important:
Enabling Auto Attendance at the policy level only makes it available for employees assigned to this policy — it does not automatically activate Auto Attendance for all employees in the policy.


Step 4: Enable Auto Attendance for Individual Employees

  • Go to the Employee tab from the main sidebar.

  • Click on the employee’s name to open their profile.

  • Go to the System Tab inside the employee profile.

  • Turn ON the Auto Attendance Toggle for that employee.

  • Click Update to save the changes.

Note:
Auto Attendance will not work if you only enable it at the employee level but forget to enable it at the policy level. Both toggles (Policy + Employee) must be enabled for Auto Attendance to apply.


✅ Once properly enabled, the system will automatically generate attendance records for these employees based on their assigned attendance schedule under the policy.
