My clock-in didn’t record
Photo, location and device issues — fixed in three checks
1Photo and location
The punch flow can’t finish without a photo, and some setups also require location.
- If the camera never opened, allow camera access for the site and try again.
- If you saw “Location access denied”, click Allow when the browser prompts and repeat the punch.
- Stay on the page until the confirmation appears — closing the tab early drops the punch.
2You punched but nothing shows
Open Time › Attendance › My Records and check the row and its Time In Source.
- No row at all? The punch didn’t reach the server — try again on a stable connection.
- Row there but wrong time? Read the source: a biometric or workstation source means your device IDs may not match what the clock sends (Admin configures this).
- Dashboard header pill should read “Timed in · since …” after a successful punch.
3Get it corrected
Attendance feeds payroll and KPIs, so don’t let a wrong row age.
- Raise an ESS Hive ticket with category Leave & Attendance.
- Include the date, expected times and what actually happened.
- Attach a photo or note if you have one — it speeds approval.
