Check-in and check-out¶

In Shifts you record with one click when your shift starts and ends. Times flow into Reports.

Overview¶

• Check in - one click to start
• Check out - one click to finish
• Saved automatically
• Shown on the shift in the calendar
• Check in again after check-out if you made a mistake

Check in¶

1. Open Shifts from the menu
2. Check in at the top of the calendar
3. Click Check in
4. Success message

When the button appears:

• Only if you have a shift today
• With multiple shifts: first the one you are already checked into, then the in-progress shift, otherwise the next start closest to now
• Icon: log-in style

After check-in¶

• Time is saved
• Button switches to Check out
• On the shift you see → HH:MM (your local time zone)

Check out¶

1. Check out at the top (after check-in)
2. Click
3. Success message

Then: button back to Check in; on the shift you also see ← HH:MM.

Check in again¶

After check-out you can check in again. You may get a prompt, e.g. whether you really want to check in again if you already checked out.

Warning: Your current check-in time is overwritten.

Use case: You checked out by mistake.

Multiple shifts on the same day¶

The system picks the shift for the button using these priorities:

1. A shift you are already checked into (checked in, not yet checked out)
2. A shift that is in progress (now is between start and end)
3. The shift with the next start time closest to now

Example: Shifts 08:00-12:00 and 12:00-16:00 - at 11:30 the 08:00 shift is used because it is still in progress.

Calendar¶

Example:

Your name
→ 08:15
← 17:30

Permissions¶

Employee: own shifts only.

Manager / Administrator: same for their own assigned shifts; cannot check in/out for others.

Not possible: check in/out for other people or move shifts from here (managers/admins handle shifts separately).
