How to Set Up Office IP and Differentiate Attendance

Step 1:

Go to Attendance settings in the Global menu > Attendance.

Step 2:

Find the section for setting up the Office IP range.

Step 3:

Fill in your office IP address in the "Office IP range" field.

You can find your IP at: https://www.whatismyip.com or by searching "What is my IP" on Google.

Step 4:

Choose the Activity in the range – this is the attendance category (e.g., "Office") that will be logged when the user logs in from the office IP.

Step 5:

Choose the Activity outside of range – this will be used when users log in from another location (e.g., "Home office").

Step 6:

Set the Round time if needed. This allows the system to round attendance times:

If the value is 15, a login at 9:05 is logged as 9:15.
Logouts near midnight (11:46 PM – 11:59 PM) are automatically rounded to 11:59 PM to avoid being recorded as the next day.

Conclusion

You have now configured IP-based attendance tracking in Easy8. The system will automatically assign "Office" or "Home office" based on the user’s login location, helping you track work location more precisely.
