如何在OrangeHRM仪表盘快捷启动栏添加打卡（Punch In/Out）功能

Alright, let's walk through exactly how to get the Punch In/Out feature onto your OrangeHRM dashboard's quick launch bar—we'll start with enabling the core functionality first (since you can't add something that's turned off), then cover both global admin setup and personal customization.

Step 1: Enable the Punch In/Out Feature (Admin Only) #

Before you can add this to the quick launch bar, you need to make sure the attendance punching feature is active in your OrangeHRM instance:

• Log in as an Admin user.
• Navigate to the Admin module, then go to Configuration > Modules.
• Locate the Time module in the list and ensure its checkbox is checked (enabled).
• Next, head to Time > Attendance Configuration (or Admin > Time > Attendance Settings depending on your OrangeHRM version).
• Look for the setting labeled "Allow Employees to Punch In/Out" (or similar) and toggle it on. Save your changes.
• Double-check user permissions: Go to Admin > User Management > Users, select the relevant user groups, and confirm they have access to the Attendance section under the Time module. Without this permission, users won't see the punch option at all.

Step 2: Add Punch In/Out to the Quick Launch Bar #

You have two ways to set this up—either make it visible for all users (admin global config) or let individual users add it themselves.

Option A: Global Admin Configuration (All Users) #

If you want every user's dashboard to show the Punch In/Out shortcut by default:

• As an Admin, go to Admin > System > Dashboard Widgets (some versions call this Quick Launch Configuration).
• You'll see two lists: Available Widgets/Shortcuts and Enabled Widgets/Shortcuts.
• Find Punch In (or Punch In/Out) in the available list, then move it to the enabled list (usually via arrow buttons or drag-and-drop).
• Adjust the order if needed (so it shows up where you want in the quick launch bar) and save the configuration. All users will now see the shortcut on their dashboards.

Option B: Personal User Customization #

If users prefer to add it themselves (or you want to let them choose):

• Log in as a regular employee user.
• Go to your Dashboard page.
• Look for the Customize button (usually a gear icon or a link labeled "Customize Quick Launch") near the quick launch bar.
• In the customization panel, find Punch In in the list of available shortcuts.
• Check the box next to it, or use the add button to move it to your active quick launch items.
• Save your changes, and the Punch In shortcut will appear in your dashboard's quick launch bar immediately.

Note: Depending on your OrangeHRM version, the exact menu labels might vary slightly, but the core workflow remains the same. If you don't see the Punch In option anywhere, double-check that the Time module and attendance punching are enabled, and that the user has the correct permissions.
