Staff Attendance BT

**Marlin GTX** enables staff attendance to be recorded and managed using the same staff profiles used for sales and workshop activities.

Staff profiles can be linked to schedules, resources and explicit availability to support planning and availability management.

Recording Attendance

Staff members can clock on and off using the Attendance Entry module, which can be accessed accessed by selecting Main > Staff > Attendance Entry from the menu bar.

The **Attendance Entry window displays a list of staff members and their current attendance status.

Current attendance indicated using coloured icons:
