To work with the Time and Attendance subsystem, you need to create and configure work schedules.

Creating work schedules

1. Go to the Worktime tab (1) of the Access Manager interface window.
   
   

2. Go to the Schedules menu (2).

3. Right-click the empty space on the left side of the window to open the context menu.
4. In the context menu, select New (3). The Schedule settings form will open.
   
   
5. In the Name field (1), enter the name of the work schedule.

6. From the Work scheme drop-down list (2), select a work scheme for the schedule, or use the search button (3). The Scheme search window will open, in which you can double-click to select the required work scheme in the area (3), or search by parameters: 
   
   
   

   1. In the Name field (1), enter the work scheme name to search by it. The search starts with the first character.

   2. In the ID field (2), enter the work scheme ID to search by it.

7. In the Day border field (4), enter the time in the HH:MM:SS format from which the day begins.

8. Set the Holidays checkbox (5) to include holidays in this work schedule.

9. In the Allowed time of absence in working region, min (6) field, enter the time in minutes of an employee absence from work (in the area determined by the Region object) that won’t be considered as leaving work. In case when an employee is absent from the workplace for longer than the allowed time, the whole period is considered as absence from the working region. The default value is 0, i.e., any time an employee is out of the working region is considered an absence from work.

10. To add working regions, right-click the empty space in the form and in the context menu, select Change working regions (see Appendix 1. Configuring the ACFA PSIM software objects to work with the Time and Attendance module).
    
    

11. As a result, the Region searching window will open. Double-click to select the required working region in the area (4) or search by parameters:
    
    

    1. In the Name field (1), enter the working region name to search by it. The search starts with the first character.

    2. In the ID field (2), enter the working region ID to search by it.
    3. Click the search button (3) to search the region by the access point. In the Search access point window, double-click to select the required access point in the area (6), or fill out the search parameters:
       
       
       1. From the Type drop-down list (1), select the type of the access point.
       2. From the Area drop-down list (2), select the area to which the access point belongs.
       3. From the Region drop-down list (3), select the region to which the access point belongs.
       4. In the Name field (4), enter the name of the access point. The search starts with the first character.
       5. In the ID field (5), enter the ID of the access point.
          After you select the access point, the Search access point window will close.
          

12. In the Region searching form, in the area (1), a region will appear to which the selected access point belongs in the area (2). To cancel the selected access point, click the button (3).
    
    

13. Set the checkbox next to the required region and click the OK button (4). After that the Region searching form will close.

14. In the Schedule settings form, the selected region will be displayed in the area (7). Click the Save button to save the changes.
    

    Assigning working regions to each work schedule is mandatory. The number of working regions that will be included in this work schedule is unlimited. You can delete only all working regions. To do this, in the Schedule settings window, right-click any region and in the context menu, select Remove all working regions.

    
    

The work schedule is created and configured.
