Common Events: info (Information)
Attendance
The attendance event is generated upon any In or Out event produced by a Time Recorder device connected to Iotellect Server. Is provides a generic attendance data format, while different types of time recorders provide attendance events in different format.
This event is hardware-independent. Any time recorder or time clock driver should convert attendance data received from hardware into attendance events. These events are processed by Iotellect Time and Attendance to build different reports. At the same time, these raw events may be accessed by third-party reporting, payroll and other software via Iotellect Server API or Web Services.
It's also possible to collect all attendance events in a separate database table using database custom event writer. Third-party systems may access this table directly to get attendance data for processing.
