Acadly Here - Auto Attendance on Windows Pc

Acadly Here is a mesh-network technology powered attendance automation app that helps you discover people in your proximity at the tap of a button, without using GPS on your or your attendees’ devices.

Neither administrators nor attendees need any hardware except their smartphones for the attendance process. To capture attendance, administrators can simply tap a button on their Acadly Here app and initiate the attendance process.

Acadly Here is ideal for use cases such as:

• Classrooms: Teachers can use Acadly Here to keep attendance records in lectures
• Employee attendance tracking: At office events such as meetings and town halls
• Nursing and medical residencies: Keeping attendance records is mandatory in residency
• Field trips: Acadly works without WiFi too, and is ideal for outdoor uses such as field trips
• Seminars and conferences: Acadly Here is ideal to gauge attendees’ attendance in different tracks of a conference
• Church activities: Community events at churches can utilize attendance for planning and record-keeping
• Fraternities and sororities: To track members’ interest in events and over a period of time

How it works

• To capture attendance, administrators and attendees need the Acadly Here app installed on their devices, with the requisite permissions enabled
• Administrators can create “groups” of attendees and schedule meeting “sessions”
• To capture attendance for a session, administrators need to tap the “START” button
• Once the process begins, attendees do not need to take any action other than to open the Acadly Here app on their devices
• The attendance process runs for about 150 seconds and ends automatically. Admins can manually end it sooner too.
• The count of attendees updates in real time on the administrator’s device
• Once the attendance process ends, attendees receive a confirmation regarding their attendance status
• In case an attendee is not marked as Present by the automatic process, administrators can edit their status manually as well
• All attendance records can be exported to a CSV file by administrators any time

Features

• Cutting-edge mesh-network technology: Acadly Here works based on a Bluetooth and WiFi based mesh network technology (WiFi connectivity is not compulsory)
• Privacy-first: Acadly Here does not use GPS to record attendance. It does not access or record users’ geolocation for any purpose.
• Manual mode: Administrators can edit attendance manually for attendees who may not have a device or for whom the automatic process fails for reasons such as poor internet connectivity
• Co-administrators: Every group can have multiple admins who can collaborate to capture and edit attendance records for the group
• Exportable data: All attendance records can be exported to CSV files, both on a per-session as well as consolidated basis
• Attendance statistics on the app: Attendees as well as admins can view attendance statistics on the Acadly Here app, both on a per-session as well as consolidated basis
