Manual attendance tracking is a method of recording employee working hours and productivity through Manual Clock-in and Clock-out processes.

This article explains how Manual Attendance Tracking works, its differences from Project-Based Attendance Tracking, and the roles of Admins, Managers, and Employees in the process.

Manual Attendance Tracking: Key Points

  • Manual attendance tracking requires employees to manually clock in and clock out to start and end their work sessions.

  • Insightful starts recording time and tracking productivity when an employee clocks in and stops when they clock out.

  • Manual attendance tracking provides data on employee work hours, idle time, app and website usage, and screenshots.

  • Admins and managers can view employee attendance data on the Insightful dashboard without any additional setup.

  • Employees can access the Clock-in/Clock-out button and their shift information on their Insightful widget.

  • When an employee is Clocked in, Insightful records every app and website visited, time spent Idle and Screenshots. Once an employee is Clocked out, these features are not recorded.
