Attendance

Barcode and QR Code for Attendance

Student cards with barcode and QR code issued from the platform and printed, scanned to record attendance in seconds — in class, on the bus, or at events — a fast, flexible alternative to manual recording where biometric devices are unavailable, or alongside them.

What This Service Delivers

Not every recording point in a school has a biometric device: the classroom, the bus, the event, the trip. ViewClass's Barcode and QR Code for Attendance gives every student a code on their card, scanned with a simple scanner or a phone camera, so their attendance is recorded in seconds wherever they are.

What you get:

  • A code for every student on their school card, issued and printed from the User Cards page in bulk.
  • Scan-based attendance where a fixed biometric device is impractical: classrooms, buses, events, trips.
  • Integration with the attendance system: what is recorded by scanning appears in the attendance screen, its reports, and parent notifications like any other record.
  • Flexible application: alongside biometrics for morning attendance, or instead of them where unavailable.
  • Low cost: a printed card and a simple scanner or phone — no fixed devices at every location.

How It Works in ViewClass

  1. Cards are issued: from User Cards, a card is printed for every student with their code.
  2. The code is scanned: on entering class, boarding the bus, or at an event, with a scanner or phone, and the student is identified instantly.
  3. Attendance is recorded in the attendance system and appears in reports and the parent account.

What Your School Gains

  • Recording in seconds, not minutes. Verbal roll call for a whole class is replaced by successive scans.
  • Coverage for every point in the school. The bus, the event, and the trip are recorded with the same accuracy as the classroom.
  • Low cost. No fixed devices at every location — a card and a scanner.
  • Unified attendance data. Scan-based, biometric, and manual recording all live in one system and one set of reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Biometrics need a device installed at entrances and record automatically. Barcode and QR codes are printed on the student card and scanned with any scanner or phone, making them suitable for attendance in class, on the bus, or at events — where there is no biometric device, or alongside it.
