To **upgrade your system to the latest version**, please [contact the megabus support team](https://www.megabus.com.au/support). **Marlin GTX**'s Attendance Entry module is used to clock staff members on or off, as well as recording their breaks. The Attendance Entry module can be accessed by selecting **Main > Staff > Attendance Entry** from the menu bar. The Attendance Entry module will open showing a list of **Scheduled** staff members and their current attendance statuses on the left. The list can also be filtered to show only staff members who are **Scheduled** for the current period, or clocked **On**, **Off** or on **Break** by clicking on the appropriate tabs at the top of the module window. Staff members' **current attendance statuses** are indicated by the coloured dot to their left: - ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d7282b31-60c4-41e6-bf87-3f684d4da049/Images/Documentation/image-9I1WOY0D.png) Clocked on - ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d7282b31-60c4-41e6-bf87-3f684d4da049/Images/Documentation/image-BCES5GAJ.png) Clocked off - ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d7282b31-60c4-41e6-bf87-3f684d4da049/Images/Documentation/image-QDIXQKH6.png) On break When selected, the staff member's [schedule](/gtx/docs/schedules) for the current day is shown in the top-right of the module window. Whether the staff member is a Technician or a Sales person is indicated by a **[T]** or an **[S]** to the right of their name. Once recorded, attendance entry events can be viewed and edited using the [Attendance Maintenance](/gtx/docs/attendance-maintenance) module. Staff attendance can also be viewed using the [Attendance Activity Reports](/gtx/docs/attendance-activity-reports). Note If staff members have no schedules associated with them, then you will need to click on the **All** tab to view them in the list and edit their attendance entries. Tip Attendance Entry can be quickly accessed by [adding it in the Favourites bar](/gtx/docs/favourites). ## Recording Attendance Staff members can [clock on](/gtx/docs/attendance#clocking-on), [clock off](/gtx/docs/attendance#clocking-off) and [start and end breaks](/gtx/docs/attendance#breaks) by selecting their name in the list and clicking on the appropriate button at the bottom-right of the module window. If **staff passwords** are enabled, staff members will be required to validate each attendance event by entering their password in the provided pop-up window. > I think elsewhere it said salesperson passwords are required for this? Staff members can also choose to change their passwords when clocking on or off by clicking on the **Change Password** button at the bottom of the Validate Salesperson/Technician pop-up window. Note Users require the **Attendance Entry** [permission](/gtx/docs/password-groups) to be enabled in order to record their attendance. ### Clocking On #### Main > Enquiries > Attendance Entry Staff members who are clocked-off can clock-on by selecting their name in the list and clicking on the green **Clock-On** button at the bottom-right of the module window. If **staff passwords** are enabled, a pop-up window will open, asking to validate the salesperson or technician. Once validated, the staff member's status will change to **On** in the list and the Start Break and Clock Off buttons will appear at the bottom-right of the module window, in place of the Clock-On button. ### Clocking Off #### Main > Enquiries > Attendance Entry Staff members who are either clocked on or on break can clock off completely by selecting their name in the list and clicking on the red **Clock Off** button at the bottom-right of the module window. If **staff passwords** are enabled, a pop-up window will open, asking to validate the salesperson or technician. Once validated, the staff member's status will change to **Off** in the list and the Start/End Break and Clock Off buttons will change back to the Clock On button. ### Breaks #### Main > Enquiries > Attendance Entry Clocked-on staff members can begin a break by selecting their name in the list and clicking on the orange **Start Break** button at the bottom-right of the module window. If **staff passwords** are enabled, a pop-up window will open, asking to validate the salesperson or technician. Once validated, the staff member's status will change to **Break** in the list and the Start Break button will change to End Break. Employees on break can clock back in at the end of their break by selecting their name in the list and clicking on the orange **End Break** button at the bottom-right of the module window. Once validated, the staff member's status will change to **On** in the list and the End Break button will change back to Start Break.
