Attendance Event Types

Attendance event types are point-based categories for tracking attendance, for example a late arrival or an early departure. Each type has a point value, a short code, and a flag for whether it counts toward an absence.

Who uses this: office staff and Time & Attendance administrators.

Where to find it

Go to Settings → Attendance Event Types in the sidebar.

What you'll see

A list of your event types showing each one's name, code, point value, whether it applies to an absence, and whether it's enabled.

• Search by name or code.
• Use the Enabled filter to focus the list.

The Attendance Event Types list, showing point values and status.

Add an event type

1. Select Add Event Type.
2. Enter a Name and a Code (the code is capitalized automatically as you type).
3. Set the Points value (new types start at 1).
4. Check Applies to Absence if this event should feed absence workflows.
5. Leave Enabled checked to make it available.
6. Select Save.

The Add Event Type dialog.

Edit an event type

Click the name or use ⋯ → Edit, make your changes, and Save.

Delete an event type

Use ⋯ → Delete, or select several and delete them together.

Heads up

You can't delete an event type that's already used on an attendance record.

Good to know

• Name and code are required and must each be unique.
• Points is a whole number and can be as large as you need.
• Disabling hides the type from selection while keeping its history; deleting removes it from the picker.
• Without edit access, you'll see the list in view-only mode.
