Punch button modes (Smart / Separated / Collapsed)

[About punch button modes]

You can change how the punch buttons look and behave at punch.workvell.com (kiosk) and on the employee dashboard, per branch. Configure it under "Branch settings > Punch buttons".

[Three button modes]

• Smart: one punch, the system auto-detects clock-in/out/break (default)
• Separated: choose an explicit action (Clock in / Clock out / Break start / Break end / Step out / Return / Direct home / Direct to site)
• Collapsed: a single smart button by default; expand "Other actions" to reveal the explicit buttons

[Enabled actions]

In separated/collapsed modes you choose which buttons appear: Clock in / Clock out / Break / Step out / Direct home / Direct to site. Clock in, clock out and break are the basics; enable step out / direct home / direct to site only for branches that need them.

[Step out / Direct home / Direct to site]

• Step out: temporarily leave during work (resumes on return). Treated as break (excluded from work time) or as work time, chosen per branch.
• Direct home: go home directly from a client site (recorded as clock out).
• Direct to site: arrive directly at a client site (recorded as clock in).

[Other settings]

• Clock format: 24-hour / 12-hour (AM/PM)
• Reason note for step out / direct home: off / optional / required
• Selfie: capture a face photo at punch time (anti-spoofing)

[Dashboard punch]

The punch buttons on the employee dashboard follow that employee's primary branch settings. If no primary branch is set, it defaults to Smart.
