User Guide: Attendance Tracking

Overview

This is the core of the application—tracking your attendance to ensure you meet your targets.

Features

1. Dashboard Overview

• Upcoming Classes: See a list of classes scheduled for today and the near future.
• Quick Status: View the current attendance status of your modules at a glance.
• Warnings: If your attendance for any module falls below your set target (e.g., 80%), a warning card will appear on the dashboard to alert you.

2. Marking Attendance

You can mark attendance easily via class cards on the dashboard, the timetable view, or the dedicated Mark Attendance Sheet modal:

• Present: You attended the class.
• Absent: You missed the class.
• Cancelled: The class did not take place. Marking this ensures your total percentage isn't negatively affected.
• Interactive Sheet: Tapping on classes brings up an intuitive bottom sheet with prominent one-tap status buttons and quick reason selection.

3. Recording an Absence Reason

When marking a session as Absent or Cancelled, a second prompt will appear asking for a reason:

• Select from common reasons using the dropdown (e.g., Sick / Unwell, Medical Appointment, Family Emergency, Travel, Personal Reasons, Lecturer Absent, Public Holiday, etc.).
• Custom reason: Select "Other" in the dropdown to type your own reason.
• The reason is optional — you can skip it by leaving the dropdown at "— No reason —".
• Reasons are visible in the Attendance History screen next to the status.
