Reset Data
Purpose
The Reset Data screen allows administrators to permanently remove attendance-related operational data from the Thulo Attendance & Leave Management module.
This utility is typically used when organizations need to clear existing attendance records, restart attendance tracking, remove test data, or prepare the system for a new implementation cycle.
Executing a data reset permanently deletes attendance management records and related operational data across multiple attendance functions.
Warning: This action is irreversible and should only be performed by authorized administrators.
