When TinyMIS is freshly installed or factory-reset, the installation wizard activates
automatically. It uses a split-screen layout: a checklist of steps on the left with a
live progress bar, and an embedded workspace on the right where each configuration is
filled in — you never leave the wizard page.
Company information — name, contact, email, phone, address, logo
System configuration — timezone, currency, date/time format, payroll year start
Departments — organisational units (Production, HR, Accounts, etc.)
Designations — job titles within each department
Contract types — Permanent, Contract, Intern, and more
Office shifts — in-time, out-time, rest, overnight flag
Salary components — Basic, DA, HRA, PF, ESI, and more
Each step is marked Required or Optional.
The system validates minimum entries before marking a step complete, and once all
required steps show a green checkmark, the completion screen lets you finish the
wizard and land on the dashboard.

Role-aware home screen
The dashboard adapts to the signed-in user's role. The top bar shows live system
health (CPU usage, free disk), the company name, and a branch filter. Quick-access
icons give one-tap entry to notices, clock, tasks, audit trail, document vault,
tickets, messages, calculator, jobs and reports.

Admin cards are clickable to jump straight to the relevant list
7-day attendance bar chart (present vs absent, or hours vs deficit)
Active notices and today's holidays panel

GPS clock-in with geofence — when an employee is permitted remote attendance, location is captured only at clock-in/out and verified against an authorised area.
Journey tracking — optional background GPS logging every 15 minutes between remote clock-in and clock-out, stored separately so it never affects the daily attendance pipeline, then plotted on a map in the employee movement report.
Service / marketing toggle — designate devices or employees as field/service staff.
