Chapter 10 Cloud Attendance Management

After adding the person groups and persons, if you want to track when the persons start/stop work
and monitor their working hours, late arrivals, early departures, and absenteeism, you can assign a
shift (a rule for the attendance defining how the shift repeats, the shift type, break settings, the
check-in/out rule, etc.) to define the attendance rules for the persons in the person groups.
The following chart shows the process of Time & Attendance Management.

Figure 10-1 Time and Attendance

● Add Timetable: The timetable defines the detailed time rules for attendance such as work time,
break time, etc. The employees need to follow the time rules to check in, check out, etc. It is an
essential parameter for configuring a shift. See Add Timetable for Normal Shift for details.
● Add Shift: Shift is a time arrangement for employment practice which is designed to make use of
all 24 hours of the clock each day, and usually assigned to employees to perform their duties
according to the rule. Based on the actual requirements, you can add shift and apply one or
more timetables in one shift for employees, which requires them to check in and check out for
each timetable. See Add Shift for details.
● Assign Shift Schedule to Person: After adding person shift schedule(s), you should assign the
shift schedule(s) to one or more persons. After that, the persons' attendance records will be
calculated according to the configured shift schedule(s). See Assign Shift Schedule to Person for
details.

133
 DS-K1T804A Series Fingerprint Access Control Terminal User Manual

● Shift Schedule Overview: The shift schedule overview shows the shift schedule information of
all persons in the person group. You can also view the detailed schedule of single person in each
day within one month. See Shift Schedule Overview for details.
● Search Attendance Record: You can set search conditions to search for the attendance records
to view the person's attendance status. See Search Attendance Record for details.
● Correct Attendance Records: If the persons' attendance status is incorrect, you can manually
correct the check in or check out record. See Correct Attendance Record for a Person and
Correct Attendance Record for Multiple Persons for details.
● Search Raw Attendance Record: Raw attendance records are the original data generated by
access control devices every time a person check in or check out. You can search for raw
attendance records to view each attendance record of specific persons. See Search Raw Check-
in/out Data for details.
● Export Attendance Report: If you need to view the overview attendance data of a specific time
period, you can export attendance report of different types. See Export Attendance Report for
details.

Chapter 11 Cloud Attendance

Cloud Attendance works with MinMoe access control devices. It is designed for bringing higher
security and improved efficiency to access control and attendance tracking. Persons in a cloud
attendance system (usually employees in an organization) can use Cloud Attendance on the Mobile
Client to check attendance records, control doors and turnstiles, and check in/out.

Note
● Cloud Attendance is not available in all countries or regions.
● If applicable, make sure you have evaluated the impact on data protection before using Cloud
Attendance.
● Select your role and read the part you need.
○ If you are the employee who needs to check attendance records and control doors, read the

For Employee section.

○ If you are the administrator who needs to set up the Cloud Attendance system, read the For

Administrator section.

For Employee
Go to Cloud Service → Cloud Attendance .

Note
If you cannot see Cloud Attendance in the Cloud Service tab, you are not in a Cloud Attendance
system. Ask the administrator of the Cloud Attendance system for help.

Cloud Attendance has three tabs:

Attendance Report
Check your attendance status and records.
Check In
Check in or check out directly on the Mobile Client without actually presenting and
authenticating at the attendance check devices. See details in Check In/Out Remotely .
Door Control
See the live view of an access control device and open door remotely. See details in Open Door
Remotely .

For Administrator
If you are the administrator who manages employees' attendance, you need to set up the Cloud
Attendance system before the employees can use Cloud Attendance via the Hik-Connect Mobile
Client. The system contains the access control devices, person information, shift settings, and
access permission settings.

159
 DS-K1T804A Series Fingerprint Access Control Terminal User Manual

Note
An Installer can create such a system, add access control devices into the system, and hand it over
to you. Contact your Installer if you want to deploy Cloud Attendance in your organization.

To set up the Cloud Attendance system, you need to add persons (employees and sub-
administrators) to the system, assign persons to access groups, allow check-in/out on app, and
assign shift schedules to persons on the Hik-Connect Portal. For details, please visit https://
www.hik-connect.com/views/login/userManual/hik-connect_en/index.html.
The following is the flow chart for deploying Cloud Attendance:

11.1 Check In/Out Remotely

You can check in or check out directly on the Mobile Client without actually presenting or
authenticating at an attendance check device.

Ask Administrator to Enable Check-In/Out on Mobile Client

If you cannot see the Check In tab, it means that you do not have the permission to check in/out
on the Mobile Client yet.
You can ask the administrator of the attendance system to enable Check-In/Out by Mobile Client
for you on the Hik-Connect Portal. The administrator also needs to set the locations of each
attendance site and the valid check-in range.
If the attendance system has no attendance check device added, you cannot check in/out on the
Mobile Client even if the feature is enabled for you.
