Attendance Manager

Tracks student attendance at FRC robotics team meetings.

Features

Track Student Attendance

Check students in or out as they arrive at or depart from team meetings.

Different User Roles

Users can be assigned one of three roles: none, student-lead, or mentor. Users with no role cannot access the application, student-leads have only limited access, and mentors have full access.

Student Attendance Details

Various statistics concerning every student's attendance is tracked: total time spent at meetings, number of meetings attended, number of missed checkouts, and a list of attendance sessions.

Export to CSV

Student attendance data can be exported to csv for external processing.

Track Meetings

The end of team meetings can be registered manually or automatically, which will mark all students as checked out.

Bulk Student Actions

Students can be deleted or un-deleted in bulk. Also, every student's expected graduation year can be tracked, and graduated students can be automatically removed from the application.
