HR Attendance Dashboard

Managers often need one place to see who is present, absent or on leave. This module adds a Dashboard menu to the attendance area that summarises employee attendance and leave data by type. HR officers and department managers use it on top of the Attendance and Time Off apps. Leave types receive a short code and the settings decide which statuses count as present or absent, so the figures follow company policy. A printable attendance report is produced from the same data.

1. 1

   Open the dashboard

   The user opens the Dashboard menu from the attendance area. A client-side dashboard loads and shows the attendance and leave figures of the employees. Data is grouped by leave or attendance type so the manager sees the overall picture at once.

   • Menu: Dashboard
   • Figures grouped by type
   • No data entry needed
2. 2

   Give leave types a code

   On the Time Off type form a new Leave Code field is added. HR enters a short code for each type. The dashboard and the report use this code as the compact label of the leave.

   • Field: Leave Code
   • One code per leave type
   • Shown in dashboard and report
3. 3

   Define present and absent statuses

   In the Settings screen two selection fields, Present and Absent, are added. The administrator chooses which leave or attendance statuses are counted in each group. The dashboard totals then follow that choice.

   • Settings: Present
   • Settings: Absent
   • Applies company-wide
4. 4

   Read employee data

   The module extends the employee model to supply attendance and leave figures to the dashboard. Each employee row is computed from the attendance records and approved leaves. The result is displayed without leaving the dashboard.

   • Based on hr.employee
   • Uses attendance and time off records
   • Read-only view
5. 5

   Print the attendance report

   An attendance PDF report is available from the dashboard data. It uses a dedicated paper format and a QWeb template. The user prints or saves it for records or meetings.

   • Custom paper format
