How to Use the Selfie Punch-In Feature in the uKnowva HRMS Mobile App?

Introduction

The Selfie Punch-In feature in the uKnowva HRMS mobile app provides a secure and convenient way for employees to record their attendance. By capturing a selfie at the time of punch-in, organizations can improve attendance authenticity and ensure that employees are marking their attendance themselves. When combined with location tracking, this feature helps organizations maintain accurate attendance records while supporting remote, field, and office-based employees.

Step 1: Install and Open the uKnowva HRMS Mobile App

Begin by opening the uKnowva HRMS application on your device.

If you have not yet installed the application or need help setting it up, you can follow the dedicated tutorial on How to Set Up uKnowva HRMS on your phone. Once the application is installed and you have successfully logged in, you are ready to use the Selfie Punch-In feature.

Step 2: Open the Virtual Punch-In Screen

Navigate to the Virtual Punch-In tab in the uKnowva HRMS mobile application.

When you use the Selfie Punch-In feature for the first time, the application will automatically request the required permissions, such as Camera and Location, if they have not already been granted. Simply allow the requested permissions to continue. 

Tap the Take a Selfie option to launch your device's camera and capture your selfie.

Capture a clear selfie by positioning your face within the camera frame.

After capturing the selfie, you can review it before marking your attendance. If you are not satisfied with the captured image, tap Delete to remove it and capture a new selfie. 

This recapture option allows you to change the selfie before the attendance is finally recorded, helping prevent accidental submissions while ensuring the correct image is used.

Once the selfie has been captured successfully, tap the Punch-In button.

The application will automatically record your attendance for the day using the captured selfie along with your location information, provided all required permissions have been granted, and your organization has enabled this feature.

Step 4: View Selfie Punch-In Records

Once an employee has successfully marked attendance using the Selfie Punch-In feature, the captured selfie is securely stored along with the attendance record.

Users with the necessary permissions, such as HR administrators, managers, or other authorized personnel, can view the captured selfie while reviewing the employee's attendance details. This allows them to verify that the attendance was marked by the employee and provides an additional layer of transparency during attendance verification.

The selfie is displayed alongside the corresponding punch-in record, making it easier for authorized users to review attendance information whenever required. This feature helps organizations improve attendance accuracy while supporting secure and reliable attendance management.
