2. Introduction
Enterprise
The attendance module in Odoo is designed to help organizations
for tracking employee attendance, manage work schedules, keep
track of and record each employee's working hours within a
company.
For both small and large organizations, the HRM operations can be a
huge task when done manually. But with Odoo, rather than keeping
the traditional systems, the complete management of all employee
related operations can be done so smoothly.

Employee Check In/Out, Management and visibility, Reporting and
Insights, Configuration options, etc.

For every employees, there will be an icon on the systray on top to
login where they can do Check In/ Check Out as needed.

name, check in/out time, worked hours, extra hours, etc along with
more informations such as browser IP, browser name, localization
and GPS details can also be seen in more detail.

6. Configuration
Enterprise
For the settings, we can use the Configuration menu of the Attendance
module. There we can see the Modes section. Here, in the Kiosk Mode
area, users can choose how they want to be recognized by the kiosk
program after selecting a Mode. After that, users can check in and out of
Odoo by using the Attendances From Backend feature.

7. Enterprise
Under the Kiosk Settings section, we can set the scanner or camera for
the scanning the barcodes. Also the time span of the greeting message to
show can be configured in seconds. And for the remote devices, we can
generate and copy the url for login as in Kiosk mode. Keep in mind that
anyone with an internet connection can access your kiosk. Create a new
address if it has been compromised.

8. Kiosk Mode
Enterprise
Its is a streamlined interface designed for badge scans or manual
recognition or touch-screen terminals and other public-facing devices
where users can interact with Odoo without needing extensive training or
access to the backend. From the top, click on the Kiosk Mode for that.

9. Enterprise
If you like to use “Scan your badge” option, the camera of the system will
open and the Employee ID can be used. To generate the Badge, go to
Employee module, there will be a unique Badge ID for everyone. Click on the
Print Badge icon.

10. Enterprise
Then, the employee can download the Badge which will look like the below
image. This can be used for marking the attendance.

11. Enterprise
Another option is to “Identify Manually” to mark the attendance. To use this,
from the Configuration Setting, enable Employee PIN Identification

12. Enterprise
Then goto Employee module, open the employee form and give any PIN
Code for them under the HR Settings page.

13. Enterprise
Now, use the Manual Identification from Kiosk mode, select the Employee
from the list and type the PIN code to check in / out.
In this way, Kiosk mode enhances operational efficiency and improve user
satisfaction in environments requiring streamlined interactions.

You can turn on Extra Hours from the configuration menu and compare
those hours with the worked hours. While enabling the Count of Extra
Hours, the date to Start From is to be given. This is used to evaluate the
attendance according to employee work hours.
Extra Hours

15. Enterprise
Tolerance Time In Favor Of Company and Tolerance Time In Favor Of
Employee can also be given under that in minutes. The former one works
for the Company’s favor and the additional time gets subtracted from the
working hours. But the latter one as its name implies works for the
Employee’s favor as it supports an employee and from which additional time
is not subtracted.
And while enabling the Display Extra Hours, it will show the extra hour
details on Kiosk mode.

16. Enterprise
For the Attendance module, the Attendance analysis can be done as Odoo
provides the reports in both Graph view and Pivot view. Users can see the
check-in details for each employee in a range of colors on the graphical
representation. By selecting the Measures icon, we can include specific data
in the graph, such as employee overtime and the total number of hours
worked. Reporting Users can create weekly, monthly, or annual employee
attendance reports.
