PROTOTYPE — SYNTHETIC EVENTS
Connected Attendance Workflow
A reference approach for turning device or kiosk events into trustworthy attendance records with clear mapping, timezone and audit controls.
This demonstration uses synthetic people and events; it is not a client deployment or configuration.
Reference flow
- Receive a device, kiosk or portal event.
- Map the attendance identifier to the correct employee.
- Normalise timestamps while preserving UTC storage.
- Apply the attendance rule and flag ambiguous events.
- Record audit evidence for review and correction.
Controls to design
- Employee-number uniqueness and inactive mappings
- Timezone and daylight-saving presentation
- Repeated punches and overnight attendance
- Kiosk or portal alternatives for non-users
- Retention, access and privacy expectations
Test scenarios
Test first and second punches, missing mappings, duplicate events, cross-midnight work, corrected records and role-based access to audit information.
