Open staff attendance
Go to HRM → Attendance → Take Attendance or View/Update Attendance. Both views share your staff register layout choice. The original page opens first unless you saved another choice. Try the new layout opens the workspace; View old layout returns to the original view.
Make this my default or Make old layout my default saves your own choice at this institute. Switching Take and Manage retains the current layout link. Other users keep their defaults; Monthly Attendance and Lock Update Attendance have separate choices. Retry a failed default save; the previous saved choice remains.
Take Attendance
Choose the date and use the original search and column filters. Mark All sets status drafts for all matching employees across pages. The heading checkbox includes or excludes matching employees who have a shift. Employees without a shift cannot be saved.
Save Attendance uses every included loaded employee with a shift, including employees hidden by filters or pagination. Review the inclusion count before saving. The original SMS mode, destination choices and Teacher App notification choice remain in use; a save can notify staff according to those selections.
Manage and correct
Choose the From and To range. The original status, source type, search and visible-column filters remain available. The heading checkbox selects matching saved records across pages; selections hidden by later filters remain selected.
Update Attendance uses all selected loaded records, each on its own saved date. Delete Attendance uses all selected IDs after the original confirmation. Search and pagination do not narrow either action. Locked dates and salary-generated employee months keep their original update rules; the existing daily delete lock exception is unchanged.
Review the grid
Page size and pagination help review the same original record sequence. Loaded server counts remain complete and do not change with search or pagination. This screen adds no sorting, export or Print action. QR and biometric scan times, source and View Details remain the original records. Changing layouts does not save attendance, send notifications or grant access.
