Who can perform these steps: Primary administrators and administrators with Attendance management permissions.
Through Lark Attendance, organizations can allow their employees to record their attendance by clocking in/out when connected to a specified Wi-Fi network.
II. Steps
Important: Please ensure you enter the entire MAC address correctly. If the MAC address is incomplete or incorrect, members won't be able to clock in/out. For further details, see How to find the Wi-Fi name and MAC address

To enable clock in/out by wifi, administrators can either create a new group, or edit an existing group.
To create a new group, go to the Attendance admin console > Attendance Settings > Group Settings and click Add Attendance Group to create a new group. To edit an existing group, click Details to the right of its name on the Group Settings page.

Bulk import
You can use an Excel spreadsheet template to bulk import MAC addresses, which makes it easier to add multiple networks at once.
- Click Import MAC address.
- In the pop-up window, click Export to download the template.
- Enter the Wi-Fi name and MAC address in the spreadsheet. For more details, see How to find the Wi-Fi name and MAC address

Note: If a network has already been added to the attendance group, and it is subsequently included in an imported Excel spreadsheet, the original MAC address will be deleted and replaced with the one contained in the imported spreadsheet.

Scan with mobile
Use your phone to scan nearby Wi-Fi networks and add their MAC addresses. This method can only add Wi-Fi networks to existing attendance groups.
- Open the Attendance app on your phone, and go to Settings > Group settings > Manage Wi-Fi.
- Tap the existing attendance group you wish to edit and tap Add Wi-Fi.
- Select the Wi-Fi network you wish to add and tap Confirm.
Note:
- Due to system limitations, Android users can add all Wi-Fi networks that can be scanned, but iOS users can only add the Wi-Fi network to which they're currently connected.
