SAM - Scan Attendance Manager

Scan and manage student attendance using your mobile device and QR Codes!

Are you running your own school or club that requires student attendance to be managed? Do you find yourself struggling with paper and spread sheets to track attendance? Do you need to ensure that attendance cannot be tampered with and fraud is reduced to a minimum?

With the Scan Attendance Manager, or "SAM" app, you can take care of all these challenges plus a whole lot more! SAM lets you easily manage your students and classes, generate student cards with QR Codes and effortlessly scan student cards to track attendance. Attendance records can be tagged with geo-location information if your mobile device supports it and attendance reports can be saved in CSV format, or shared.

Top Features

1. Scan Student Attendance

Switch between manual and continuous scan modes for complete control! Scan student cards with QR Codes using your mobile device camera to reduce time spent capturing attendance. SAM will tag attendance records with GPS coordinates if your mobile device supports it. "QR Code" is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED. Note: GPS location tagging can be disabled from the SAM app preferences screen.

2. Manage Classes and Students

Manage your students and classes directly on the SAM app! SAM lets you add, edit and delete your students and classes and stores all sensitive information in an encrypted format for added peace-of-mind.

3. Student and Class Import

Import students and classes from a comma-delimited (CSV) file! Simply create and save a CSV file on your mobile device with the following column layout and import the CSV file using the new SAM import feature. The SAM app will automatically insert students and classes from the CSV import file and attempt to reduce the possibility of duplicate records being created.

Import CSV File Layout (v4.0):

Column 1: Student Number (maximum length = 10 characters)
Column 2: Student Name (maximum length = 35 characters)
Column 3: Student Email Address (maximum length = 255 characters)
Column 4: Student Mobile Phone (maximum length = 20 characters)
Column 5: Class Name (maximum length = 35 characters)

CSV File Notes:

- Do not include any column headers in your CSV file.
- Do not enclose column values in quote marks.
- Only use a comma ',' as a column separator.
- Only use a new line character at the end of each line.

4. Generate Student Cards

Easily generate single or multiple student cards with QR Codes directly on the SAM app! Save student cards on your mobile device or distribute student cards using built-in social sharing features native to your mobile device. If you prefer to use your own student card generator, SAM will be able to read any QR Code that meets international standards.

5. Generate Reports and Charts

View annual, top and monthly attendance charts and statistics, or view student lists, attendance detail, student attendance and class attendance reports directly on the SAM app!
