Introduction - Attendance Calendar

A month of attendance at a glance, with one day opened beside it.

A tour of the Attendance Calendar: a month of coverage on the left, one day's people on the right.

The calendar reads the same records as the list and arranges them by date instead of by row. That one change is what makes a pattern visible: a fortnight nobody covered, a Monday that is always short, a run of late starts at one depot.

The Attendance Calendar screen, headed Attendance Calendar above the line Monthly view of employee attendance status, with a Central Warehouse location picker at the top right. A September 2026 month grid fills the left, with arrows either side of the month name, weekday columns from Sun to Sat, and cells showing a percentage and a checked-in count. Weekend cells are greyed. A legend of nine coloured states runs along the bottom. On the right, a panel headed Tue, Sep 8, 2026 reads 13 of 13 employees above an All Status dropdown and a list of employees with their departments and statuses. — The month on the left, the selected day on the right. Selecting a cell changes the panel, not the month.

The two halves

The month gridcoverage per day: One cell per date, carrying the proportion of people who checked in and the count behind it. Weekends and holidays are marked rather than scored.
The day panelpeople, not percentages: Everyone expected on the selected date, with their department and the state each ended in.
The legendnine states: The colour key for both halves. It is the reference for the whole screen.
The location pickertop right: The same control as on the records list, and it scopes the whole month.

What a day cell carries

The first row of the September 2026 calendar grid. Cells for the first, second, third and fourth each show the date, 100 per cent in green, and the line 13 of 13 checked in. The Saturday cell for the fifth is greyed and reads Weekend with a small dot. — A working day scores; a weekend does not. The count under the percentage is what the percentage is of.

A cell answers one question: how many of the people expected that day actually started. It is a coverage figure, not a performance one, and it says nothing about how long anybody stayed.
