# How to record Attendance

A staff may need to record his/ her attendance at a clinic. This can be done very easily with the help of Clinicea. Follow the steps below to record attendance.

1. To open the attendance page, click on the **Staff name** at the top right corner of the **Calendar** screen. Select **My Attendance** from the dropdown list.

This can also be done by clicking on the **Staff name** just below the current date on the **calendar** screen.

Based on the entered in time in the **Attendance** window, a **clock sign** appears beside the Staff name in the **calendar** for the current date. The clock turns red if the staff is late and shows green otherwise.

**5.** A staff may need to take a leave for a whole day or for a certain period of time. This can be set on the **Attendance** screen too.

*   Click on the View Leaves button at the bottom of the Attendance screen.
    
*   The New Leave window will open on the right side of the screen.
    
*   Add the leave dates under From and To options.

Once the leave is added, it will be reflected in the **Leave History** list below.

This leave will now be reflected on the **Calendar** screen by the grey region which denotes leaves/ breaks/ holidays, along with the reason.

**6.** An attendance of a staff can be handled by other persons of the clinic also, other than the staff himself. This can be done by allowing certain permissions.

*   This can be done by clicking on Tools | Permissions. 
    
*   The permissions window will open and from the list on the left side of the screen select the staff.

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to find the **HR** option.

*   Manage Self Attendance- This option permits the staff to record his own attendance.
    
*   Manage Attendance for Others Also- This option can be used by the admin or senior staffs or any other higher authority who may need to record the attendance of all other staffs.
    
*   Edit Past Attendance- A staff may come on Monday and want to record the attendance of last week that he had missed out or had entered a wrong input.  This option comes to help in such situations.
    

Once done, click on **Save** button to apply the changes.
