# How to Navigate Attendance & Timesheets

## The Attendance & Timesheets page is your central hub for viewing and managing your team's worked hours. Here's how to get around.

Opening the Page

- Click **Attendance** in the sidebar to open the timesheet view.

 Choosing a Date Range

- Use the **date range selector** in the header to pick the dates you want to review - a single day, a week, a full pay period, or a custom range.

 Single-Day vs. Multi-Day Mode

- **Single-day mode** - Shows all employees' time entries for that day, side by side. 
    - In this mode, the **Department** filter and **Shifts** filter also apply to the **Flags** badge and flags modal, so you can review flags for just one department or shift at a time.
- **Multi-day mode** - Shows one employee's entries across multiple days. Use the **employee dropdown** (with left/right arrows) to switch between team members. 
    - The **Shifts** filter remains available in multi-day mode, letting you filter entries by shift across the date range.
    - Switching from single-day to multi-day automatically clears any department filters applied to flags.

 Using the Employee List (Quick Select)

The **Employee List** sidebar lets you browse and jump between employees while editing timesheets - no need to scroll through the dropdown or click arrows one by one.

### Turning It On

- In the toolbar, find the **Employee List** toggle and switch it **on**.
- A sidebar appears on the left listing all employees.
- The toggle is only available in **multi-day mode** (admin view). It does not appear in single-day mode or for employees viewing their own timesheet.
- Timecloud remembers your toggle preference, so it stays on (or off) next time you return.

### Searching for an Employee

- Type a name in the **Search Employees** field at the top of the sidebar.
- The list filters in real time as you type.

### Filtering by Department

- Use the **Department** dropdown in the sidebar to show only employees from specific departments.
- Select one or more departments to narrow the list.
- The department filter also updates the **employee dropdown** and **prev/next navigation** above the timesheet, so navigation stays in sync with the sidebar.

### Sorting the List

- Use the **Sort** dropdown to reorder employees: 
    - **First Name Ascending** (default)
    - **First Name Descending**
    - **Last Name Ascending**
    - **Last Name Descending**

### Selecting an Employee

- Click any employee name in the sidebar to instantly load their timesheet.
- The selected employee is highlighted, and the sidebar scrolls to keep them in view.
- You can also continue using the **prev/next arrows** or the **employee dropdown** - the sidebar stays in sync.

Viewing Clock Forms on Attendance

When an employee submits a form at clock-in or clock-out (e.g. a pre-start checklist or site sign-off), admins can view those submissions directly from the attendance row without navigating to the Forms section.

### Spotting a Form Submission

- A **form icon** (document icon) appears on the attendance row next to the clock-in or clock-out entry when a form was submitted for that punch.
- The icon only shows for forms the employee submitted themselves.

### Opening the Forms Tab

- Click the **form icon** on the attendance row to open the check-in details modal directly to the **Forms** tab.
- You can also open the check-in details modal from Notes, Locations, or Timer Selfie and switch to the **Forms** tab.

### What You'll See

The **Forms** tab displays submissions split into two columns:

- **Clock in** - forms submitted when the employee clocked in.
- **Clock Out** - forms submitted when the employee clocked out.

Each form submission shows:

- **Form name** in an expandable panel header.
- **Download** button - click the download icon to export the submission as a PDF.
- **Image preview** - uploaded photos and signatures are displayed in a preview area. Use the **left/right arrows** to step through multiple images.
- **Answered fields** - the employee's responses (text, yes/no, dropdown selections, dates) are listed below the preview.

If a column has no form submission, it shows "No form submitted".

### Downloading a Form PDF

- Click the **download icon** next to the form name to save the submission as a PDF.
- The PDF is named with the form name and the employee's name (e.g. "Pre-start checklist - Jane Smith.pdf").

### Expanding and Collapsing Forms

- Each form appears as an **expandable panel**, open by default.
- Click the panel header to collapse or expand the preview and answers.
- When multiple forms are submitted for the same punch, each gets its own panel with its own preview and answers.

*Tip: The Employee List sidebar is ideal for large teams - search, filter by department, and click to jump to any employee's timesheet in seconds.*
