Attendance without the punch clock

Live presence, working hours, and last-seen for every seat — with automatic attention alerts for anyone who goes quiet.

Attendance data has a reputation problem. Done right, it removes friction instead of adding it. Momentum shows who is present, when they started, and how long they have been active — and quietly flags inactive sessions so nothing slips through on a busy day.

// Under the hood

How attendance tracking actually works

Not marketing abstractions — the real screens, rules, and signals that make up this part of the platform.

// Deep dive · 01

Presence derived from work, not badges

Momentum derives attendance from what actually happens: the desktop agent records when each person's day starts and finishes, so presence is a by-product of working rather than a ritual performed at a kiosk. The Workforce Dashboard rolls this into present and absent counts and an organisation strength percentage — a live answer to the first question of every morning.

Measured against your office hours

Admins configure office start and end times, workday hours, and expected desk hours in General settings. Every start time and active-desk-time figure is then read against that standard, so a 9:40 start means the same thing in every report. Late starts, short days, and quiet seats are visible as deviations from a rule you wrote — not as anyone's opinion.

// Deep dive · 03

Presence with substance behind it

A head at a desk is not the same as a day of work, so Momentum pairs attendance with activity. Each person's Activity view shows start time, finish time, and active desk time versus expected side by side, and the day's Timeline shows exactly how the hours between were spent. Attendance and effort finally live in the same record.

The master grid for the whole organisation

The dashboard's master user grid lists every member with their agent status, so you can sweep the entire organisation in one look — who is present, who is absent, whose agent has gone quiet. One screen replaces the morning roll-call entirely.

// The workflow

From install to insight in four steps

01
Define office hours

Set office start and end times, workday hours, and expected desk hours in General settings — the baseline every day is measured against.

02
Agents mark the day

Each person's start time and finish time are captured automatically by the agent as they begin and end work. No check-in required.

03
The dashboard rolls up

Present and absent counts, organisation strength percentage, and average active desk time update on the Workforce Dashboard.

04
Scan and drill down

Sweep the master user grid with agent status, then open any individual's Activity view for start, finish, and desk time versus expected.

// In practice

Where teams put it to work

Morning status in one glance

Present and absent counts plus organisation strength percentage replace the roll-call. One dashboard, thirty seconds, and the day's coverage picture is settled.

Hybrid policy without honour-system gaps

Expected desk hours give remote and office staff the same yardstick. Active desk time versus expected shows who is meeting the bar — wherever they sit.

Chronic-lateness patterns, documented

Start times against configured office hours build a factual record over weeks. HR conversations begin from data both sides can see, not recollection.

// Questions

Attendance tracking, answered

Do employees need to clock in and out?+

No. The agent records each person's start and finish time from actual machine activity, so attendance is captured automatically without punch-ins.

How is someone marked present or absent?+

Presence follows agent activity for the day, measured against the office start/end and workday hours your admins configured. The dashboard shows live present and absent counts.

What is organisation strength?+

A percentage on the Workforce Dashboard showing how much of your total membership is present — a single number for today's coverage.

Can managers see attendance for other teams?+

Managers see analytics for their own team only — attendance data outside their remit stays out of view.
