How to Configure Attendance Calendar Settings

Step 1:

Go to the Global menu > Attendance > Attendance settings.

Step 2:

In the Attendance settings, go to the All working time calendars section.

Step 3:

You can either select from existing calendars or add a new custom calendar using the button on the right.

Step 4:

When adding a new calendar, fill in the following fields:

Name of the calendar
Start and end time of the workday
Working hours per day
Working days per week
Whether it is the default calendar
Optionally, import holidays using an ICS file

The values set here will influence what is pre-filled in the attendance entry form (like arrival/departure time). These can still be adjusted manually per record.

Step 5:

You can now edit the calendar in more detail:

Add working exceptions
Modify working hours for specific days

Step 6:

Understand how this impacts attendance logging:

If manual time entry is allowed, users can enter From–To time manually.
If using preset options, users can select:
- All day – from start to end of work time in the calendar
- Morning – from start of work to halfway
- Afternoon – from halfway to end of work

Conclusion

You have successfully configured attendance calendar settings. With custom working calendars and holiday imports, your attendance tracking can now reflect your real working schedule more accurately.
