Sometimes an employee may mark proxy attendance for another employee from the mobile application, and the organization is not able to take action. To avoid proxy attendance, you can now enable the greytHR DeviceDetect feature. 

To start using the DeviceDetect feature, the first step is to enable the feature. The Advanced Options page in the greytHR Admin portal allows you to enable/disable the DeviceDetect feature for the employees. The page also displays various features which you can enable or disable.

To view the Advanced Options page, navigate to the Settings icon > System Settings > Miscellaneous > Advanced Options.
