Build your own attendance and time-off views inside the Time Management app, just by describing what you want to see. Vibe Views use your live Shapes data, so they are always up to date, and a single view can combine time management data with people data such as department, manager or office.
This article covers what is specific to Time Management. For how Vibe Views work in general, including refining, sharing, version history and rating a view, see Shapes' Vibe views.
How to create a Time Management Vibe View
Open the Time Management app.
Click the + next to the tabs at the top of the page.
Under Add a view, select Vibe View.
Describe what you want to see and click Generate.
The suggested prompts in the Time Management app are tuned for attendance and time off, so they are a good place to start.
What you can build
Attendance — hours worked, clock-in and clock-out times, and monthly attendance summaries per employee or team
Time away — who's out on a given day or week, bookings by time away reason, and approval status
Balances — used, remaining and carried-over balances by policy. For policies with no fixed number of days, the balance shows as As needed.
Payroll-ready reports — a full monthly attendance report you can export to PDF and send to your payroll provider
Example prompts
"Show a monthly attendance summary for each employee in the Operations team, with total hours and days worked"
"Who is out this week, grouped by department?"
"Show time-off usage by policy for this year, and highlight employees with more than 10 days left"
Who can use Time Management Vibe Views?
Super Admins, Admins and Managers can create Vibe Views. Super Admins and Admins can also share them, and everyone can see views that have been shared with them. See Shapes' Vibe views for the full breakdown by permission level.
Exporting
Any Time Management Vibe View can be exported to CSV or PDF from the view.
Good to know
Vibe Views don't change attendance records. They show attendance and time-off data, but you can't correct clock-in or clock-out times from a view. To fix a record, edit it from the employee's Time Management profile or use Quick Fix.
Sharing a view. Viewers only see data they're allowed to see. If a view pulls data from an app the viewer can't access (for example Time Management or Workflows), that part of the view appears empty for them. If someone reports missing data in a view you shared, check their permissions first, or refine the prompt so the view uses data they can see.
Standard reports. For ready-made attendance and time-away reports, see Time Management Reports.
Tracking hours by project
Attendance records hold total hours worked, not hours per project. To track project hours:
Create a custom table under Employee Fields with columns such as Date, Project and Hours, and allow employees to edit their own rows. See Employee Fields & Tables.
Build a Vibe View on that table to total hours by project, employee and month.
The table isn't linked to attendance automatically, so unassigned hours need to be calculated in the view.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I edit attendance records from a Vibe View?
No. Vibe Views display attendance data but can't change it. Corrections to clock-in and clock-out times are made from the employee's Time Management profile or with Quick Fix.
Q: Can I send a Vibe View to payroll?
Yes. Export the view to PDF or CSV and send the file to your payroll provider.
Q: Someone I shared a view with sees empty sections. Why?
The view uses data from an app or field they don't have permission to see. Check their permissions, or refine the prompt so the view uses data they can access.
