Shift Attributes

Intended for: Manager | Application: Web Application


Attributes are labels for marking shifts — for example Home Office, Training, Business Trip, or Field Visit. They can be tracked in reports and used for anything you want to regularly record on shifts.


Creating an Attribute

Business → Attributes → +Add Attribute

Fill in:

  • Name — descriptive name of the attribute

  • Abbreviation — max. 3 characters; choose a meaningful one!

  • Payroll ID — optional

  • Description — optional

  • Attribute type — see below

Attributes are displayed in the system by their abbreviation — it should be meaningful and distinct from others (e.g. HOM for Home Office, TRN for Training).


Attribute Types

  • Checkbox — yes/no

  • Text — free text input

  • Number — numeric value

  • Date — date picker

  • One of values — selection from a predefined list

  • Duration — entering a duration (hours/minutes)


The "Duration" Attribute Type

For the Duration attribute, you can set whether the marked portion of the shift counts toward the work fund:

  • With "Count toward shift duration" checked — hours are recorded as regular working time (suitable e.g. for Training)

  • Without checking — hours are recorded separately in reports (suitable e.g. for Business Trip, which uses a special payroll code)


Adding an Attribute to a Shift

  1. Open the shift window.

  2. Select the attribute from the left side menu.

  3. For the Duration attribute, set Count / Do Not Count toward duration.

  4. Confirm.


Overview of Used Attributes in Reports

  • Attribute with duration: Office → Reports → Employees → in Columns select the attribute abbreviation → displays worked hours

  • All attributes for a day: Office → Attendance → Columns → Attribute
