Envoy offers many different ways to capture employee presence, including badge events (through access control integrations), Wi-Fi, SSO (through Okta), and Geolocation.

With the Presence control center settings, admins have a clearer, more customizable way to manage how employee presence is recorded, ensuring data is accurate, policy-aligned, and tailored to each workplace’s needs.

You can see which signals an employee uses to sign in, recorded in multiple places.

See main article: Employee log

An employee's entry in the Employee log details the check-in method used, under the Checked in field. This will always show the first enabled signal Envoy received from this employee. In many cases, multiple signals are sent per employee per day. You can view more signals listed in the Access log and in Analytics (shown below).

If an employee crosses the geofence barrier, but Admins have that signal toggled off, the geofence crossing will not be counted as a valid sign-in and will not appear in the Employee log.

See main article: Access log

Every signal that Envoy receives from employees at your location is listed here. The Access log does not filter out duplicates or ignored signals and can be considered a "live stream" of employee activity. This means that if you turn off geofence signals for attendance, they will still appear in the Access log but will not be used to check anyone in or count towards attendance goals.

The Attendance Overview contains multiple charts that detail which signals are received from employees. This dashboard makes it easy to see which methods are the most effective at capturing employee presence data.
