HawkHR enables the admin (anyone with the permission of settings module) to define the IP addresses they want, as the only IP addresses from which the web attendance would be allowed to be marked in the system. To do this follow the given steps.

  1. Navigate to: Control panel -> Settings -> Attendance -> Configure

If unchecked, you will not be able to use any form of attendances in the portal)

  4. Enable IP based restrictions: To Enable IP based restrictions (given under Disable Web based attendance), mark the check box (Activating this will show/ hide the top header TimeIn and TimeOut buttons based on allowed IP. If this setting is activated, then the user cannot mark TimeIn and TimeOut from web other than allowed IP)

  5. Manage Allowed IP: For managing allowed IP addresses for web attendance, click on Manage Allowed IP
