How to view previous days from the calendar and request retroactive punch adjustments

This article explains how to use the calendar in the Day.io mobile app to open previous days, review punch records for a specific date and identify missing or inconsistent entries.

This feature is useful when you need to review a past day, check whether a punch is missing, compare expected working hours with recorded punches and, when allowed by your company, start a retroactive punch adjustment request.

Key actions or configuration

   • Open the Day.io app.
   • On the main screen, locate the calendar icon in the top-right corner.
   • Tap the icon to open the date view.
   • Review the available days you can open.
     
     
2. Select a previous day
   • In the calendar, tap the date you want to review.
   • The app updates the screen with information for the selected day.
   • Check whether the date shows punches, scheduled hours or a pending indicator.

5. Request a retroactive punch adjustment
   • Fill in the requested information for the punch correction.
