How to take attendance

Updated 8 August 2026 · App version 3.2.184

Daily attendance takes less than a minute. Follow the pictures.

The screenshots show the app in Bangla, its main language. The buttons sit in the same places in English.

Open the app. You will see your list of classes.
On the card for the class you want, tap "দেখুন" (View).
Tap the "উপস্থিতি নিন" (Take Attendance) button.
Tap the date you are taking attendance for. Today's date is already selected.

If you missed a previous day, you can pick that date here.
Tap "ওকে" (OK).
Tick the "উপস্থিত" (Present) box next to each student who came. A tick means present, blank means absent.
If almost everyone is present, tap "সকলে উপস্থিত" (All Present) — everyone gets ticked at once. Then untick only the absent ones.
Tap the "আপডেট" (Update) button at the bottom. Done — today's attendance is saved.

No internet? No problem. Attendance is saved on your phone and syncs by itself when the internet comes back. You do not need to take it again.
To take attendance period by period on the same day: after tapping "আপডেট" (Update), look at the top — "১ নং হাজিরা" (Attendance 1) appears with "+ নতুন হাজিরা (পরের ঘন্টা)" (New attendance, next period) beside it. Tap that to open another attendance for the same day; the first one stays exactly as it was.

These two chips do not appear until the day's FIRST attendance is saved, so it can look like the feature is missing. It is there — tap "আপডেট" once and it shows. Up to 6 sittings per day.

Common questions

If I take attendance with no internet, will the data be lost?

No. Attendance is saved on your phone first, then syncs to the server by itself once you have internet. You do not need to do anything.

What if I tick the wrong student?

Tap the box again and the tick comes off. You can change as much as you like before saving, and even after saving you can fix it from "উপস্থিতির তথ্য পরিবর্তন" (Change attendance info).

What happens if I take attendance twice on the same day?

Re-taking the SAME sitting is not counted twice — it replaces the earlier entry and simply updates it. Keeping separate sittings per period is a different thing — see the next question.

Can I take separate attendance for each period (1st period, 2nd period)?

Yes — up to 6 separate sittings a day, each kept and reported separately. The same applies in a madrasa taking attendance after each waqt. How: take attendance normally and tap "আপডেট" (Update). Then "১ নং হাজিরা" (Attendance 1) and "+ নতুন হাজিরা (পরের ঘন্টা)" (New attendance, next period) appear at the top of the screen. Tap the second one to open that day's second sitting. Many teachers never find it because neither chip appears until the day's first attendance is saved. Tap "আপডেট" once and you will see them.

How do I tell a guardian that their child is present in class today?

After taking attendance and tapping "আপডেট" (Update), a box headed "হাজিরা সেভ হয়েছে" (Attendance saved) appears. It offers two scopes — "শুধু অনুপস্থিতদের" (absentees only) and "সকল শিক্ষার্থী" (all students). Whenever anyone is absent the app pre-selects absentees only, which is why many teachers never notice the second option. Choose "সকল শিক্ষার্থী", then tap "বার্তা লিখুন" (Write message). Each guardian gets their own child's line — present or absent — not one shared announcement. Guardians who never joined the app are then offered an SMS from your own SIM.
