Read the Calendar

The nine colours, what each one means, and how to open a single day.

The calendar encodes state as colour in both halves of the screen. This is the key.

The calendar legend: nine coloured dots with labels reading Checked In in green, Checked Out in blue, Checked Out (Auto) in orange, Late in amber, Leave in purple, Absent in red, Yet to Check In in grey, Holiday in pink and Weekend in a darker grey.
Nine states, in the order the legend lists them. The same colours drive the day panel on the right.

The nine states

StateWhat it meansWhere it comes from
Checked InThe clock is running and the day is not closed.A check in with no check out yet.
Checked OutBoth timestamps are present.The normal, finished day.
Checked Out (Auto)Worklink closed the day rather than the person.Somebody who never checked out; the shift end is used.
LateArrived after the shift start plus its grace period.Compared against the assigned shift, not a fixed time.
LeaveApproved leave falls on this day.An approved request in Leave Management.
AbsentA working day with neither a record nor approved leave.The gap that needs explaining.
Yet to Check InExpected today and has not started.Only meaningful on the current day.
HolidayA day on the holiday calendar.Scoped holidays only mark the depots they apply to.
WeekendOutside the shift's week pattern.The employee's own shift, so a four-day week has three.

Opening one day

Selecting a cell loads that date into the panel on the right. The month does not move, so you can step across a week comparing days without losing your place.

The day panel headed Tue, Sep 1, 2026 above the line 13 of 13 employees and an All Status dropdown. Below it a list of employees, each with circular initials, their name, their department and a coloured status: Ade Fashanu of Health and Safety Checked Out, Dermot Lynch of Engineering and Maintenance Checked In, Marcus Thorne of Operations Late.
The people behind the percentage, sorted by name, each with the state the legend explains.
