Chapter 7
Attendance
This chapter guides you on setting up clocking schedules for the purpose of recording
and monitoring attendance and generate an attendance sheet.
Ingress is loaded with comprehensive time and attendance features applicable to dif-
ferent industries. To utilize Ingress’ time attendance features efficiently, first is to set
up the clocking schedules, which consist of the weekly working timetables, calculation
rules for work time and OT. The process is simple, users report attendance at any de-
vices, Ingress downloads records from devices and it processes attendance according
to the clocking schedules being set. Maximum number of clocking schedules allowed
in Ingress is 999.
3 important schedule types readily available to be used in Ingress
WEEKLY - Working schedule that rotates weekly
This schedule is the most commonly used working schedule worldwide where work-
ing days fall on weekdays and offdays fall on weekends.
DAILY - Working schedule that rotates daily
This schedule is suitable for multiple shifts, overnight shifts, open shifts, rotational
shifts, where the work schedules change daily.
FLEXI - Working schedule that does not include any late ins, early outs or overtime.
This schedule is suitable for groups of workers having flexible working time.
The next important configuration is the group duty roster, also known as the annual
working calendar. For a group of users that follow the same working rules, they can
be grouped into one single group. Alternatively, you can customize independent cal-
endars to match specific users under User Duty Planner. Each group of duty roster
follows one clocking schedule only and Ingress offers a total of 999 group duty rosters
to configure.
Configure various types of leave in Ingress. The leaves will be recorded in Attendance
Sheet and a remark column is available for administrator to flag irregular records. A
user can also notify the management of any irregularity in attendance by the use of
work codes. During verification of attendance at any device, users can insert work
codes as an explanation for his/her irregular attendance records.
