How it works

From setup to everyday use

  1. Set your rules once

    Choose the minimum attendance needed to sit exams and how it is calculated, in Institution Settings.

  2. Mark the register

    Pick the date, class and section, mark everyone present, then change the few who are absent.

  3. Parents are told

    If WhatsApp is connected, parents of absent children receive the absence alert template automatically.

  4. Fix mistakes properly

    Corrections are made student by student with a reason, and the last correction stays visible on the roster.

Attendance roster for a class with roll numbers, status, last correction and correction action
01Daily roster

Mark a class in seconds, not minutes

Choose a date, class and section and the roster lists every student with their roll number and status. Most days most children are present, so start with Mark All Present and then change the handful who are not — or select several students and apply a status to all of them together.

  • Filter by class, section and status
  • Mark All Present, then change only the exceptions
  • Bulk actions for several students at once
  • Totals for attendance %, present, absent and not marked, compared with the previous day
Attendance Correction dialog with updated status and a required reason for the correction
02Corrections

Every change has a reason on record

Attendance feeds exam eligibility and is what parents dispute, so it should not be silently overwritten. A correction is made against one student and cannot be saved without a reason. The roster shows the last correction next to each child, so a class teacher can see at a glance what was changed.

  • Correction per student, with a mandatory reason
  • Last correction shown on the roster
  • Present and absent both correctable
  • Each correction stores the old and new status, the reason and who made it

03Parent alerts

Parents hear about an absence the same day

When your school's WhatsApp Business number is connected, marking a student absent fires the ready-made absence alert: the parent receives the student's name, class and section, the date and your school's name from your official number. Each child triggers at most one alert per day, even if the register is saved again.

  • Sent from the school's own WhatsApp Business number
  • Ready-made absence alert template with fields already mapped
  • At most one alert per child per day
  • Delivery recorded in WhatsApp delivery logs
Academic Configuration with current academic year, board, attendance threshold and attendance calculation
04Attendance rules

A threshold that means something

In Institution Settings you set the minimum attendance a student needs to appear for examinations and how attendance is calculated, alongside the academic year, board and grading system. Parents and students then see the year-to-date percentage against your threshold in the Campus 24x7 app, with a warning when it falls below.

  • Attendance threshold as a percentage, for exam eligibility
  • Calculation: daily cumulative, subject-wise or monthly average
  • Set for the current academic year, alongside the board and grading system
  • Year-to-date attendance against the threshold in the parent and student app

Responsive

Take the register from the classroom

Teachers don't need to walk to the staff room to mark attendance. The roster works on a phone browser, so a class teacher can mark the class at the door and the office sees the numbers straight away.

  • Same roster on a phone
  • Totals update as soon as the register is saved
  • Teachers see only what their role allows

Included in every plan

  • Growth — up to 1,000 students, 20,000 WhatsApp messages a month
  • Scale — up to 2,500 students, 30,000 WhatsApp messages a month

Good to know

What to set up so attendance works as described.

  • Absence alerts need your school's WhatsApp Business number connected and the attendance alert template approved by Meta.
  • Attendance is marked by staff in the web app. There is no biometric, RFID or face-recognition attendance.
  • Attendance reports in the Reports module are marked as coming soon; today you review attendance in the daily, weekly and monthly views.
FAQ

Questions schools ask

How long does it take a teacher to mark attendance?

For a typical class, a few seconds: mark everyone present in one tap, then change the students who are absent.

Do parents get a message when their child is absent?

Yes, if your school's WhatsApp Business number is connected. Marking a student absent sends the absence alert to the parent from your official number, at most once per child per day.

Can attendance be changed after it is marked?

Yes, through a correction for the individual student. A reason is required, and the last correction is shown on the roster.

Can we set a minimum attendance for exams?

Yes. The attendance threshold percentage and the calculation method are set in Institution Settings → Academics, and parents and students see the year-to-date percentage against it in the app.

Can we see attendance for a week or a month?

Yes. The attendance page has daily, weekly and monthly views for any class and section.

Does Campus 24x7 support biometric or RFID attendance?

No. Attendance is marked by staff in the app, on a phone or a computer.

Is staff attendance included too?

Yes. Staff attendance has its own page with present, absent, late, half-day and leave statuses.
