Feature Overview

Airfob Space provides basic Time & Attendance (T&A) tracking by recording shift and break times, which can be exported or integrated with an external T&A system. While Airfob Space does not offer a full T&A management system, it supports event logging and API integrations with payroll and attendance systems.




How T&A Works in Airfob Space

Users can log T&A events such as:

  • Start Shift
  • End Shift
  • Start Break
  • End Break

These events are recorded in the event logs and can be exported as a CSV file or retrieved via API.


Setting Up Mobile T&A

To enable Mobile T&A:

  1. Go to Settings > Site > Settings.
  2. Ensure you are logged in as a master administrator.
  3. Find T&A on Mobile and activate it.
  4. Set labels for T&A keys (e.g., Start Shift, End Shift, Start Break, End Break).
  5. Specify whether each event is a Clock-In or Clock-Out event.
  6. Click Save to confirm.


Assigning T&A to Devices

Once Mobile T&A is activated, specify which devices should use it:

  1. Go to Device Management and select a registered device.
  2. Scroll down to T&A Settings and select Mobile.
  3. Choose whether T&A selection is required or optional.
  4. Click Save to apply settings.

Note: T&A event labels are managed at the site level and cannot be changed per device.


Viewing and Exporting T&A Logs

T&A events are recorded in the event logs.

  1. Go to Monitoring > Event Logs.
  2. Locate the T&A Column in the log table.
  3. Customize the log table to move the T&A column for better visibility.
  4. Click Export to download the data as a CSV file.


Alternative T&A Options

Devices can record T&A events in different ways:

Disabled

  • The device does not record any T&A data.

By Schedule

  • Defines clock-in and clock-out times based on a set schedule.
  • For example, events logged between 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM are recorded as Clock-In, and events between 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM are recorded as Clock-Out.

Fixed

  • Assigns a fixed T&A code (e.g., Start Shift) to a reader.
  • Every authentication at this reader logs the same T&A event.
  • Useful for dedicated T&A readers (e.g., one reader for clock-in, another for clock-out).

Mobile

  • Users must select a T&A code before authenticating.
  • The selected T&A event is recorded along with access logs.


Finalizing T&A Configuration

Once T&A settings are configured, ensure all changes are saved:

  • Click Save to apply changes.
  • Click Cancel to discard modifications.
