To work with the Time and Attendance subsystem, you need to create and configure work periods.
Creating work periods
- Go to the Worktime tab (1) of the Access Manager interface window (For more information about connecting the Worktime subsystem, see Configuring the Worktime subsystem).
- Go to the Periods menu (2).
- Right-click the empty space on the left side of the window to open the context menu.
- In the context menu, select New (3). The Schedule settings form will open.
- In the Name field (1), enter the name of the work period.
- In the Description field (2), enter the description of the work period.
Set the Working time (sliding) checkbox (3), if sliding work schedule is used.
Note
Sliding schedule implies unregulated time of an employee at the workplace, but in a certain time interval of the work shift.
- In the Working time (sliding) field (4), enter the employee sliding working time in the HH:MM:SS format.
- To add work intervals, right-click an empty space in the central part of the form and select Add (5) in the context menu.
- Enter the interval settings:
In the Begin field (1), enter the start time of the work interval in the HH:MM:SS format, or select it with the slider (2).
- In the End field (3), enter the end time of the work interval in the HH:MM:SS format, or select it with the slider (4).
Set the Crossing checkbox (5), if the start of the work interval is on the current day and the end is the next day. If the start time of the work interval is longer than the end time, the Crossing checkbox will be set automatically.
Set the Lunch checkbox (6), so that the employee’s presence at work isn’t taken into account when calculating the work period. If the checkbox isn’t set, the employee’s presence is included in the calculation. To add a lunch break, you need to create a second work interval in which the Lunch checkbox will be set (see Examples of work periods).
Attention!
To create correct Time and Attendance reports, it is necessary that only one work interval with the clear Lunch checkbox is set (see Working with Time and Attendance reports).
- Click the Save button (7) to save the changes. Click the Cancel button (8) to cancel the changes.
Creating a work period is complete. The created work period will appear in the information field and in the properties panel of the Periods menu on the Worktime tab of the Access Manager interface window.
Examples of work periods
- Daytime work schedule with a lunch break.
- Work period that crosses midnight.
Editing work periods
To edit a work period saved in the system, go to the Periods menu on the Worktime tab of the Access Manager interface window and use one of three methods:
- In the information field, double-click the period you want to change (1).
Select the period you want to change, and on the properties panel, click the button (2).
- Double-click the selected period on the properties panel (3).
As a result, the window for editing work period will open.
