Now let us look at how it functions with its features. As we said before, it has two sub-modules like Absence Calendar and Attendance reports.


Absence Calendar

This sub-module of the attendance management system is to track the absence details of the employee. If an employee needs to update his or her leave details, then they will be able to do it from their end and also from the admin side.

Admin will be able to access all the features of the absence calendar in the tool. The following views or methods are available for the admin to update the leave details or add away-time of an employee or team.


1.Monthly absence calendar view against each employee

Daily Absence calender

Here admin will be able to select any particular day of the week of any specific employee to add the away time. While adding the away-time (leave details), the admin will be able to select the From/To Date, leave (away-time) type (such as sick, conference, parental, vacation, unpaid, etc) to update the away time. As per the settings, it reflects against each employee’s absence calendar view with details like whether it is a paid or unpaid leave and color-coding to differentiate each leave type.


2.Weekly absence calendar view

Monthly Absence calender

With this view, the admin will be able to select any day of the month and add the leave details for any employee or team. As discussed above, the leave taken or applied away time will reflect on the monthly view with the following leave details like paid or unpaid and color-coding to easily differentiate the leave type.


3. Add “away time” option

Away Time

There is no particular view like a weekly or monthly view with this option. Here admin will directly be able to add the away time or leave details by choosing the team members or any specific employee.

Any user or the employee will also be able to add their away time in Desklog. However, they will be able to have a look at the monthly absence calendar view. It is very similar to the one we discussed under the view options or methods available for the admin. The only difference is that the user will be able to update or apply for their leaves whereas the admin will be able to select the day or days of the month and the user or team to update the away time.
