# Attendance Configuration
**Follow these steps to configure attendance settings effectively:**
**Step 1:** Navigate to Attendance Configuration:\
Log in to TaskOPad, go to the **Organization Management** section, and select the company for which you want to enable the attendance system. Click on the **Settings** menu in the top-right corner, then open the **Attendance Configuration** tab. Finally, turn on the toggle button to activate the attendance system for the selected company.
**Step 2: Employee Permissions**\
In the **Employee Permission** tab, select the users who will have access to the attendance system. Use the checkboxes next to each employee's name to grant or deny attendance access. Once done, click **Save**.
**Step 3: Register Faces**\
Navigate to the **Register Faces** tab to upload pictures of employees who have attendance permissions. This feature allows facial recognition for seamless check-in and check-out processes.
**Step 4: Set Location and Radius**\
Use the **Set Location & Radius** tab to define check-in and check-out locations.
* Add multiple locations as required.
* Specify the radius within which employees can mark their attendance.
* You can exclude specific users from the location restriction if needed.
**Step 5: Calendar Setup**\
Go to the **Calendar** tab to configure work timings for each day of the week.
* Define total working hours per day, which will be used to calculate check-in and check-out compliance.
* Add organizational holidays by clicking the **Add Holiday** button.
**Step 6: Regularization Approval**\
Open the **Regularization Approval** tab to manage permissions for attendance regularization.
* Define who can regularize check-ins and check-outs for employees.
* This feature is useful for scenarios where employees forget to mark their attendance, allowing their superior to make the necessary adjustments.
After completing the configuration of the settings menu, proceed to the dashboard.
**Check-In From the Dashboard:**
* **Access the Dashboard**:\
After logging into your TaskOPad account, you'll land on the **Dashboard**.
* **Locate the Check-In Button**:
* The **Check-In** button is at the top-right corner.
* It will display your current check-in status.
* **Click Check-In**:
* When you click the button, your attendance will be logged for the day.
* **Verify Your Status**:
* Visit the **Attendance** section from the sidebar to confirm your check-in details.
( **Note**: If your company uses location or face recognition for attendance, ensure the necessary permissions (like location access) are enabled.)
After Check- In go to **Attendance** from the sidebar.
* There are three tabs i.e. My attendance Tab, Team Attendance & Regularization
* Under My attendance Tab you can see:
* **Check-In/Check-Out**: View your recorded timings.
* **Working Hours**: Total expected hours.
* **Spent Hours**: Hours you've worked.
* **Variance**: Any deviations from expected hours.
* **Status**: Displays your current status (Present, Absent, Holiday, Manual, etc.).

These will help you to accurately track your hours worked for a specific day and view attendance records on a **weekly**, **monthly**, or **custom date range** basis.
The **My Attendance** records also include a table view, allowing you to view the data in a tabular format for easy reference.
This allows you to filter the status, for example, if you want to view your total present, absent, holiday, and weekend status.
