Admin: mark daily staff attendance

Before you start

Mark attendance for today

  1. Open Admin → Staff attendance.
  2. Confirm the date shown is today (attendance is recorded per calendar day).
  3. For each active staff member, choose one state:
    • Present on duty for the day (or morning roll call confirmed)
    • Absent did not report
    • In shift start / gate entry
    • Out shift end / gate exit
  4. Tap the action Plinth records the attendance and updates the board.

Correct a mark the same day

Tap a different state for the same person. Today's row updates; the change is audit-logged (who marked, when, and the new state).

One mark per staff per day

The system stores one attendance record per staff member per date. You cannot leave two conflicting rows for the same person on the same day.
