The Dashboard displays your current attendance state as a coloured pill on the Welcome back card. This article enumerates each visible state, what triggers it, and where it appears in the application.
Status pill on the Dashboard
The pill sits directly beneath your name and position on the Welcome card. It uses two visual states.
| Pill colour | Icon | Status text | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green | pi-check-circle | Clocked in | You are currently on the clock. The Total Time Logged counter on Today's Activity is running. |
| Red | pi-minus-circle | Clocked out | You are not currently on the clock. The Total Time Logged counter is paused. |
The pill text reflects the most recent punch the system has for you, whether that came from a biometric reader or from the remote clock-in workflow. Both contribute equally.
Today's Activity fields
Three complementary fields sit on the right card.
| Field | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Total Time Logged | Sum of (clock-in to clock-out) intervals for today, minus paused breaks. | Updates live every minute via the work-clock script while you're clocked in. Pauses while clocked out. |
| First Check-in | Time of your first clock-in event for the calendar day. | Empty until your first punch of the day. |
| Breaks Taken | Each break entry recorded for today. | Listed with start time, end time, and duration. The whole row hides when you have no breaks today. |
Manager-facing department rollups
The Department Overview section on the Dashboard exposes team-level counts derived from individual statuses. These appear only to department managers.
| Card | Border colour | Counts |
|---|---|---|
| Absent Today | Red | Direct reports with no clock-in for today and no approved leave entry covering today. |
| On Leave Today | Purple | Direct reports with an approved leave entry covering today. |
| Discrepancies | Orange | Direct reports flagged for late check-in, short hours worked, or an excessively long break. |
