Tracking Classroom Attendance

Classroom Attendance can be obtained in AccuCampus using: 1- Sign-in Stations. 2- Manual Roll calls. 3- Using an IPAD to track it.

• Firstly you need to configure each Course Class-Schedule by editing each Course at General–> Courses and setting a schedule for it.
• Secondly, each student must be enrolled in such Courses, so when they type their information in the Kiosk the system knows what the student is signing-in for, more information here: https://desk.zoho.com/portal/engineerica/en/kb/articles/accucampus-how-to-enroll-students-in-their-classes-and-events

Now we are ready to create a Sign-in Station. How to Access: Center Attendance > Sign-in Stations Purpose: Used to create, edit, and manage the Sign-in Stations for Center Attendance AND Class Attendance.

Location Selection

Input the Class Locations:

Now install the Sign-In Station so students can start typing/swiping their credentials:
Remember that in the Courses information you have specified the schedule and location where classes take place, as soon as you create and use a Kiosk it will use that information to compare each swipe and know where to place each student.

Now on each row, there are five buttons to change the status of the student as needed:

How to Access: Advanced Options > Settings > Attendance Restrictions

Purpose: Within AccuCampus, you are able to restrict the locations, services, or staff members that users can access. Attendance restrictions allow you to have prospective students, currently enrolled students, and alumni all within the same system and ensure that they only have access to the resources that are appropriate for their unique status within the institution. AccuCampus uses tags that are placed on users (typically students) which then allow attendance restrictions to be placed.

This list shows all “Restrictions” established in Accucampus.

• Create Restrictions - Click this button to load a new page and create a new restriction.

Notice that on the right-hand side of each row(restriction) there is a button to erase:
