Key takeaways
- Create the organization and departments first so employees land in the right place.
- Invite employees by email or add them in bulk.
- Install the desktop agent once per device; it runs quietly in the background.
- Check the dashboard after the first day to confirm everyone is reporting.
- Set working hours so late and early flags are accurate.
Getting attendance data flowing takes less time than most teams expect. Follow these steps and you will have a working dashboard before your next stand-up.
Step 1: Create your organization
Register your organization, then add your departments. Departments let you filter reports and assign administrators for the people they manage.
Step 2: Add your employees
Add people one at a time or in bulk. Each employee receives an invitation with their sign-in details. Assign them to a department and set their working hours.
Step 3: Install the desktop agent
- Download the agent from your dashboard.
- Run the installer on the employee's device.
- Sign in with the invitation credentials.
The agent records punch times and active or idle status. It does not capture screenshots or keystrokes.
Step 4: Confirm data is arriving
Open the dashboard after the first working day. You should see each employee's punch-in time and their active hours. If someone is missing, check that the agent is running and the device is online.
Step 5: Read your first report
The punch-times report shows arrival and departure for any date range. Use it to spot late starts, long breaks or missed punch-outs, then export it for payroll if you need to.
Tip
Set realistic working hours per department. Accurate schedules make every late or early flag meaningful.
