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:

On break
Staff members can clock on, clock off and start or end breaks by selecting their name in the list and clicking on the relevant action button:
