About the Proximity Feature
The Proximity feature in Attendance populates your Scheduler by using actual clocking data that you import into the system. This means that you can build your Scheduler by importing clocking data into Indigo.
Proximity works by comparing an employee's first clock-in time of the day against the nearest timings of the shift presets in your system in order to determine which shift to allocate to the employee. When an approximate shift is identified, Indigo will allocate that shift for the employee in the Scheduler.
To help the system accurately allocate shifts by proximity to the employees in your system, it is recommended to assign shift presets to groups (cost centres, occupations, or organisation groups).
For Proximity to work as intended:
The feature must be enabled in settings.
Shifts presets that you wish to be available for Proximity should be assigned to groups of employees in the shift's settings.
An employee's work schedule profile must allow the employee to be eligible to clock in for an available proximity shift.
