You can view employee punch status anytime on the live punch board, or in Slack using status syncing or the punch card request. 


To visit the punch board:


1. From the "Menu" select "Timesheet actions", and in the sub-menu select “Punchboard.” This will link you directly to the live updating punch board view. You can also visit from the dashboard > time tracking > punch board.




2. The punch board is a filterable, live-updating view showing the status of everyone on your team (or everyone you manage if you’re not an admin). You can filter by office, department, or direct reports (if you’re an admin), and each employee card will show the time of their last punch, the project they’re working on (if using projects), and whether they’re on leave, in the office, at home, or at an appointment.

  • Working shows all employees currently punched in.

  • Break shows all employees on break or lunch.

  • Unavailable shows all employees who are clocked out but have previously scheduled leave on the calendar.

  • Out shows all employees who are clocked out and have not otherwise scheduled time off.



To view statuses in Slack:

1. If your team is auto-syncing their punch status with AttendanceBot, their Slack status will show whether they’re in, out, on break/lunch, on leave, or wfh.      


2. To pull up a text summary of everyone’s status, DM AttendanceBot “punch card” to show a snapshot of punch board information in text format.



Note: You can also set up real time alerts to yourself as a manager or to a specific channel for punches.
