The Dashboard displays your current attendance state as a coloured pill on the Welcome back card. This article enumerates each visible state - the live status pill, the day timeline next to it, and the per-day status badges you see on the hours screens - what triggers each, and where it appears.
Status pill on the Dashboard
The pill sits directly beneath your name and position on the Welcome card. It uses two visual states.
- Green, pi-check-circle icon, "Checked In" — you are currently on the clock. The Total time logged counter on the right is running.
- Red, pi-minus-circle icon, "Checked Out" — you are not currently on the clock. The Total time logged counter is paused.
The pill text reflects the most recent punch the system has for you, whether that came from a biometric reader or from the remote clock-in workflow. Both contribute equally.
The day timeline (right-hand card)
The right-hand card is a timeline of your day rather than a list of fields:
- Total time logged — the sum of your clock-in to clock-out intervals for today, minus breaks. It updates live every minute while you are checked in and pauses while you are checked out.
- Weekly goal ring — shown when you have a weekly goal: hours worked this week against your weekly goal (for example "32h of 40h"), with a caption underneath. The ring turns green once the goal is met.
- Legend — Working and Break segments.
- In — the time of your first check-in today, at the start of the bar; the bar runs to Now.
- Coloured segments — one block per working or break stretch, sized by its minutes. Before your first punch the card reads "No activity logged yet today."
- Chips — Logged (today's total), First check-in, and Breaks (a compact count and total, for example "2 · 45 min", or "None"). Individual breaks are not listed one by one.
Per-day attendance status (on Manage Hours and the hour reports)
Separately from the live "checked in / out" pill, each day is given a status badge that summarises how that day went. You'll see these on Manage Hours, the punch editor, and the Hours & Attendance Report (Detail Attendance) timeline. A flagged day shows the specific reason it was flagged (not just a blanket "Late"), with the detail on a sub-line.
- Present — clocked in and the shift is still in progress (no clock-out yet, shift not over).
- On time — arrived within the allowed window and worked the full shift.
- Arrived early — clocked in before the early tolerance band (still met the hours).
- Late arrival — clocked in after the allowed start window. (red)
- Left early — clocked out before the shift end - worked under the shift's target time. (amber)
- Short day — worked below the minimum hours required for the day. (red)
- Missed clock-out — clocked in but never clocked out, and the shift end has passed - needs a correction.
- No punches — no clock-in recorded on a day work was expected.
- Absent — a scheduled working day with no attendance and no approved leave.
- Pending — today, before any clock-in - the day may still happen.
- On leave — an approved full-day leave covers the day.
- Half day leave — an approved half-day (partial) leave covers part of the day.
- Rest day — a non-working day on the employee's schedule.
- Public holiday — a public holiday (see How working time is calculated: ordinary hours, overtime & authorised time for the pay rules).
- Holiday OT — worked on a holiday or rest day with approved overtime.
Late arrival, Left early and Short day are different things. "Late arrival" is about when you started; "Left early" is about leaving before the shift end; "Short day" is about total hours below the minimum. A single day can trip more than one - the badge shows the headline cause and the reason text spells out the rest.
Manager view
There is no longer a Department Overview section with Absent Today, On Leave Today and Discrepancies cards on the Dashboard. Manager tiles moved to the Management Portal tab of the Dashboard, which shows the live coverage board (who is rostered and who is in) and action tiles that appear only when something is pending. Team-level attendance history lives in the attendance reports; see Daily monitoring & attendance reports.
