Set Time & Attendance (T&A)

BioStar Air records shift and break times to provide basic T&A tracking and integrates with external T&A systems or exports the data. BioStar Air is not a complete T&A system, but it supports event logging and API integration with payroll and T&A systems. It also generates basic working hours reports.

Tip

Refer to the following video to watch a video guide on T&A configuration.

Customers who began using BioStar Air access control before May 2025 may still be using the Airfob Space app, which has since been rebranded as the Suprema Pass app. Both apps offer identical functionality and are fully compatible. There is no need for existing users to switch — mobile credentials work seamlessly across both.

T&A Setting​

A device records T&A events in several ways.

  • Disabled: The device does not record T&A data.

  • By Schedule: Records clock-in and clock-out times based on the defined schedule. For example, events between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM are recorded as Clock-In, while events between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM are recorded as Clock-Out.

  • Fixed: Assigns a fixed T&A code to the device. Each authentication on that device records the same T&A event. Use this option to designate the device for clock-in or clock-out.

  • Mobile: Requires the user to select a T&A code before authentication. The selected T&A event is recorded with the access log.
