Using the Calendar

The Calendar allows you to view records 'at a glance' and add, edit and delete Absences and Attendances.

Use the Calendar to view a monthly or weekly overview of records, and add, edit and delete absences and attendances. Employees can view and edit their own records, Admins can view and edit all employees records or view and edit individual employee records.

Users must be Employees to view or edit their own records and must be Admins to view or edit employees records. 

Filter and sort records

  • By default the calendar displays in month view but you can use the button in the top right hand of the screen to switch it to week view.
