If you're using Alpaka Presence to clock in and out of work, everything you need to know is in the web version of Alpaka. Sign in, hover over Me, then click My Presence. You'll see your readings in a list.
The best readings come in pairs - you clocking in and out. Alpaka does its best to find pairs, and the status tells you what's happening. You might see a reading marked stranded, meaning Alpaka thinks you've missed a pairing reading. Alpaka also tries to match your presence readings against your rota, contract hours or time at work from a previous week - marking a reading pending while it looks for a match, and complete once your times match your correct working hours. Readings might also be marked with an issue if your time at work was too long or too short, or can't be resolved without someone making an assessment.
It's unlikely you can edit your own readings, but your senior team members can - if you see a problem with your presence readings, ask them for help fixing it. Presence readings total up and become your payable hours for the period.
A reading has been received but not yet paired. You do not need to do anything yet.
It is unlikely you will see an actioned status. It is the time between Alpaka connecting a pair of readings and deciding what the payable time in between them is.
A pair of readings where the time in between is too short, or began too late. The tolerance is 15 minutes. The best way to avoid issues is to be on time and stay at work until it is time to leave. Obvious really.
A pair of readings that satisfy arrival time and duration when compared to your calendar, your contract hours or a previously accepted presence reading.
A reading that failed to be paired before another good pair came along. It is likely your manager might delete this reading or edit it to add whatever is missing.
This is a pair of readings that look like you were at work too long. Alpaka uses the review status to highlight your excellence and dedication so your manager can decide whether you were working overtime.
