Take attendance with QR

Do it on
A computer with a webcam, or a phone
Time needed
3 minutes
Before you start
The session already created
When you finish
The present list is recorded for that session

Every student has their own QR code. Scanning it records that child against the session you have open.

Before you scan

A session has to exist first. See Create a session.

  1. Open Attendance & Schedule

    Go to Lớp Giáo Lý → Điểm danh & Lịch (Catechism Classes → Attendance & Schedule). The Quét QR (Scan QR) button is top right, next to Create session.

    Empty table? Click This month or clear the date range — the table filters by date and status.

  2. Pick the right session, then click Scan QR

    Find today's session in the table, open it, then click Quét QR (Scan QR).

    Pick the wrong session and the attendance lands on the wrong day. Check the Starts at and Class columns.

    No session at all? Create one first — without a session there is nothing to take attendance against.

  3. Allow camera access

    The browser asks for permission to use the camera — click Allow. On a phone the app asks the same thing the first time.

  4. Scan each child's code

    Hold the QR code in the scan frame. Each successful scan shows the child's name and sets them to Present. Move on to the next child; nothing else to click.

You are done when

  • The number Present matches the children actually in the room
  • Reopening the session shows the saved attendance list

If scanning will not work, do it by hand​

Open the session and change each child's status in the attendance grid. Use this when a child forgot their code, the computer has no camera, or the classroom has no reliable connection.

Something went wrong?

The camera does not open
  • The browser is blocking camera access: click the padlock in the address bar to allow it again
  • Another app is using the camera — close it and reload the page
  • The computer has no webcam: use a phone to scan
It scans but says the student cannot be found
  • That child is not in the class this session belongs to
  • You have the wrong session open
  • The QR code belongs to a different parish
If I scan the same child twice, do they count twice

No. The second scan simply updates that child's status within the same session.

The QR code is faded and will not scan

Add light, wipe the lens, bring the camera about a hand's width closer. If it still refuses, mark that child by hand.
