Presence Module

The Presence module is an extending Attendance module used for displaying the list of employees currently present in a building. To make the module work, follow the attendance monitoring start steps specified in How to Start Monitoring Staff Attendance?

All the users to be monitored are subsequently displayed in the Presence module. Presence is detected from the downloaded card swipes through the end terminals (Helios IP, Access Units).

  1. If the last user event of the day is arrival (IN event), the user is considered present.
  2. When the user passes through a card reader with an unspecified direction, the current user zone will be changed. The same happens when the user passes through an IN card reader.  
  3. If the last event is departure (OUT event), the user is considered absent.
  4. After midnight, the presence records are deleted in case any of the users forgot to mark its departure.

Info

  • The Presence module does not work properly if card readers without IN/OUT specification are used for Attendance monitoring within the company. Readers with IN/OUT specification can only be used.
