Presence
The Presence module allows you to monitor user activity in real time. It works independently of the Attendance module, which is separately licensed. Presence can be monitored even without an active Attendance license.
The two features are displayed together on the Attendance and Presence tab in the Access Commander interface, but each has its own purpose and works independently.
Remember to set the Attendance IN-OUT mode in , refer to Attendance Settings, to make the module work.
If Arrival (IN event) is the last event of the day, the user is considered present.
If a user passes a reader with an unspecified direction, the current user zone will be changed. The same thing happens if a user passes through a reader in the IN mode.
If Departure (OUT event) is the user's last event of the day, the user is considered absent.
Caution
The Presence module does not work correctly if the FREE attendance mode is selected. The only mode to be selected is IN-OUT.
User Presence Expiration
Click the icon 
in the right-hand upper part to set the User presence expiration. The User presence expiration sets automatic deletion of the user’s presence record if the user fails to record the departure. This timeout is expressed in hours and defines the timeout after which the presence record is deleted automatically after the last passage of a present user. This timeout helps define how long a presence record can be kept in the system if the user is not considered absent. This ensures that the list of present users remains up-to-date and free of records on those who have left the building without checking out.
