What are Waves?

An activity wave is a set period of time, such as a week or a month, that Melonly tracks staff activity over. Each wave records online time, break time and shifts for every staff member. Waves let you set hour requirements, review past activity and spot inactive staff.

How Waves Work

A wave ends automatically based on the duration you set, and the next wave starts straight away. Melonly keeps the results of every past wave. You can also end or delete a wave yourself from the timeline.
