How to Edit Punch In/Out Records Using "Edit in Timeline View"

How to Auto-Populate Missing Attendance Records from a Scheduled Shift
or employees on predictable shift schedules, HR Administrators can use the Auto Populate button to instantly generate missing attendance records — rather than adding each punch one by one. The system maps the employee's scheduled shift start, end, and break times directly into the Timeline as punch records, with full validation and an automatic audit note.
This is the recommended approach when an employee forgets to punch in or out and their scheduled (Fixed or Rostered) shift for that date is know.
Step 1 - Open the Edit in Timeline View for the employee and date you want to correct, following Steps 1–5 of the "Add" workflow above.
Step 2 - On the Timeline View, locate the date with the missing attendance record. Click the "Auto Populate" button at the top of the panel.
Note: Auto Populate uses the employee's assigned Fixed Shift or Rostered Shift for the selected date. If no shift is configured for that date, the Auto Populate button
will be disabled.
Step 3 - A confirmation dialog will appear showing the shift times that will be used (start time, end time, and any configured breaks). Review the details and click "Confirm" to proceed.
Note: All Auto-Populated records carry an explanatory note tag. This tag is visible in the Timeline View, in the Attendance Report exports, and in the Audit Trail under HR Administration → Audit Trail with the action source "Auto Populate".
Step 4 - The system instantly generates the Punch In, Punch Out, and break records on the Timeline. Each newly created record is tagged with a system-generated note identifying it as Auto-Populated for audit purposes.
Note: Auto Populate skips any date that already has a complete punch pair on the Timeline. If partial punches exist (for example, a Punch In but no Punch Out), the system will only fill the missing entries — your existing records are preserved.
