App Settings Overview

The App Settings module in CloudHR allows administrators to configure global defaults, attendance rules, plan-specific modules, branding, and social links.

This central interface ensures consistent settings across the application and enforces plan-specific rules.

1. General​

Configure global defaults for your organization:

  • Language – Default language for the application.
  • Shift – Default shift options for employees.
  • Weekly Off – Default weekly off configuration.
  • Date Format – Display format for dates (e.g., DD/MM/YYYY).
  • Time Format – 12-hour or 24-hour format.
  • Locale – Regional settings for formatting numbers, dates, etc.
  • Currency – Default currency for financial or payroll calculations.

2. Attendance​

Define policies and defaults for employee attendance tracking:

  • Attendance Tracking Policy – Choose how attendance is tracked:
    • Manual Check-in
    • Team Logger
    • Geo-Fencing (plan-specific)
  • Default Attendance Type – Applied if no plan is assigned at employee creation.
  • Enable Project Tracking – Tracks project and task time including breaks.
  • Enable Face Recognition – Toggle for mobile app check-ins using face recognition.

3. Modules​

Manage plan-specific modules and toggle them on or off:

  • AI Enabled – Enables AI-powered features in the system.
  • Payrolls – Enables payroll module.
  • Project Management – Enables project and task tracking module.
  • Geo-Fencing – Enables geo-fencing for attendance.

Modules are visible only if included in the assigned plan. The Attendance module reflects this visibility, and all modules are enabled by default.

4. Basic​

Configure branding and default routes for your organization:

  • Lettermark – Short code or initials used in headers or documents.
  • App Logo – Upload your company logo.
  • Home URL – Default route the logo links to in email headers.

5. Socials​

Manage links for company social accounts to include in email footers:

  • YouTube
  • Medium
  • Facebook
  • X (Twitter)
  • Instagram
  • LinkedIn
