🎯 Getting Started

Default Login Credentials

Employee Access:

  • Select any employee from the login dropdown
  • Access: Attendance, Parking, Booking, Chatbot

Admin Access:

  • Select "Admin User" from login dropdown
  • Access: All employee features + Admin Dashboard

Key Workflows

  1. Mark Attendance: Login → Dashboard → "Mark Today's Attendance"
  2. Book Room: Login → "Book Room" → Select date/room → Choose time slot
  3. View Parking: Login → "Parking" → View real-time availability
  4. Admin Analytics: Login as Admin → Dashboard → View charts and insights

⚠️ Known Limitations

  • Mock Data: All data is simulated and resets on page refresh
  • Simulated Features: Auto check-in, real-time updates are mocked
  • No Persistence: Data doesn't persist between sessions (localStorage used selectively)
  • AI Responses: Chatbot uses rule-based responses, not actual AI API

� Troubleshooting

Deployment Issues

Vercel Platform Error (EBADPLATFORM) If you encounter platform-specific dependency errors:

# Clear node_modules and package-lock.json
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install

Build Failures

  • Ensure Node.js version is 18+ in deployment settings
  • Check that all dependencies are properly listed in package.json
  • Verify build command is set to npm run build
  • Confirm output directory is set to dist

Runtime Errors

  • Check browser console for JavaScript errors
  • Ensure all assets are loading correctly (check Network tab)
  • Verify routing works with your hosting provider's SPA configuration
