This article explains how to follow the day on PDKS Management > Overview. Users with PDKS Manager and PDKS Admin see this screen. A manager sees only the employees of the branches they are responsible for; an admin sees the whole company.
Before you start
At least one location exists (First setup). Without any location a setup banner appears on top of the tab.
Employees have a shift plan; Not started and No-show are calculated from it.
Step by step
In the left menu go to Time and attendance > Attendance management. The page opens on the Overview tab. Counters and the live feed refresh every 30 seconds and the charts every minute; refresh by hand with the refresh button at the top right.
Read the eight counters:
Came today: People with at least one accepted check-in today (QR or manual). Those who have since checked out count too.
Inside now: People who checked in and have not checked out, including those on break.
Active now: People inside and not on break.
On break: People who started a break and have not ended it.
Not started: People whose shift has started but who have not checked in yet. Includes the No-show ones.
No-show: People whose shift has started, whose Absence threshold (default 240 min) has passed and who still have no check-in.
Late arrival: People whose first check-in today came after the tolerance period (default 15 min).
Left early: People who checked out earlier than the planned end minus the early leave tolerance (default 15 min).
Not started and No-show count only active employees with PDKS Base User; people with no plan today, an approved leave covering the whole day, or a public holiday are not counted.
Click a counter. The window lists the people and the day's check-in / check-out movements. View all opens the Records tab with this filter.
Look at the charts: Today's Movements by Hour (accepted check-ins and check-outs per hour), Last 7 Days Attendance (people who came and who were late each day), Current Status Breakdown (active, on break, checked out, no-show).
The Live Feed on the right shows the latest 10 scans; rejected scans are marked red, late check-ins orange.
Pending Notifications lists undecided excuses and open discrepancies (the newest 5 of each type). Click a row to open Notification Detail. Write a Decision Note and choose Approve Excuse / Reject Excuse for an excuse, or Approve, Reject, Add Note or (for an open late arrival, early leave, long break or absence) Request Excuse for a discrepancy. The full list is on the Discrepancies tab.
Result
A decision made from the dashboard works exactly like one made on the Discrepancies tab: the discrepancy's status changes, an excuse decision is sent to the employee, and a rejection reaches payroll according to the company's deduction mode (Discrepancies).
Common issues
Symptom: "Cannot reach the server, figures may be out of date" appears on top of the page.
Cause: The server could not be reached; the screen shows the last successful figures.
Solution: Check your connection and press the refresh button.
Symptom: No-shows of a night shift do not appear on the No-show card.
Cause: The absence of night shifts whose threshold passes midnight is not shown on this card.
Solution: Follow those absences on the Discrepancies tab.
Symptom: An employee on leave shows as No-show.
Cause: The leave was entered later or does not cover the whole day.
Solution: You can approve the absence discrepancy that was opened.
