How student ID QR code attendance works in Sekani

See the student ID QR attendance sequence: scan the card, confirm the learner, review fees, mark attendance, sync and alert the guardian on WhatsApp.

Sekani mobile attendance app scanning a QR code on a student identity card

1. Open the secure scanner

The authorised user opens the QR scanner from the mobile attendance dashboard. The dashboard also shows the number of students on the device, records waiting to sync and the last update time.

2. Hold the student card in the frame

The phone camera reads the QR code printed on the student identity card. The card links the check to the learner record; staff do not need to type a name for every arrival.

3. Confirm the student

The student details screen displays the learner’s name, admission number and class. This confirmation step helps staff avoid marking the wrong learner.

4. Review the available fee position

Authorised staff can see totals due, paid and outstanding, together with the available fee breakdown. Schools should control who may see this information and how it is used.

5. Capture attendance and communicate

The user marks the day’s attendance. Sekani identifies a record already captured for that day, stores records offline when necessary, synchronises later and can send the parent or guardian a WhatsApp attendance alert.

Sekani connects mobile attendance with the student record, school ID, fee context, offline synchronisation and parent or guardian communication. The most useful evaluation is a guided demonstration using your school’s own gate and attendance scenarios.

Questions schools ask

Frequently asked questions

Does this workflow work without internet?

Attendance can be captured offline on the authorised mobile device and synchronised when internet access returns.

Can parents or guardians receive an alert?

Yes. Sekani can send a WhatsApp attendance alert after capture; an offline record must synchronise before the online message can be sent.

Can staff find a student without scanning?

Yes. The mobile workflow supports manual lookup by admission number as an alternative to the QR scanner.
