This article applies to the Wrkplace Attendance module.
You can quickly view all attendance history, filtering the data if necessary, and then export.
On occasions you will also need to edit an attendee’s history – typically their sign in or their sign out time.
Here’s how to view attendance history
- Navigate to Attendance > History
- On every attendance record, click the View action icon
On each attendance history record you can view attendee details, time in and time out, answers to health screening questions and notices, and the exact location the attendee at the time of sign in/out (via Google Maps).

Note that a red flag will appear for any employee signing in or out of your workplaces, outside of the distance threshold for that workplace (if set in Places – see our guide on Adding Places).

This is also available when viewing the Attendance Details screen. Click on the eye icon to View History

Then click the button next to the GPS Coordinates shown. That will open Google Maps to show you where the sign in / out occurred.


How accurate is this GPS Location?
A smartphone’s precise GPS location can be very accurate, particularly in high-density areas like cities. However, the accuracy depends on several factors – mainly the environment, mobile signal quality, mobile phone quality/age, and whether the phone is using extra positioning aids like Wi-Fi.
Here’s a breakdown of typical accuracy levels:
| Technology | Typical Accuracy | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GPS alone (outdoors in a high-density environment) | ±3–5 meters | Best case with clear sky view. |
| Assisted GPS (A-GPS) | ±1–3 meters | Uses mobile + GPS + sometimes Wi-Fi to speed and refine results. |
| Wi-Fi positioning | ±5–15 meters | Useful indoors or urban areas where GPS is weak. |
| Cell tower triangulation | ±50–500 meters | Works when GPS / Wi-Fi unavailable – but much less precise. |
Editing Attendance History
Here’s how to edit an attendance record.
- Navigate to Attendance > History
- Locate the attendance record you need to edit, using the filters if necessary.
- Click Edit in the Actions column

Here’s how to export attendance history.
- Navigate to Attendance > History
- Filter attendance history as required
- Click Export to PDF, Export to CSV or Export to Payroll
The Export the Payroll option exports data to a CSV file as well, but groups all attendance data by:
- Attendee Type
- Attendee Name
- Shift
- Day
- Period (time period as selected in the filter)
