Automated Attendance System
===


An automated attendance system will consist of a web system for entire organization to record attendance. Each Class room or department will have its own login. On login the class faculty can see a list of students or members registered under it. The faculty can take the attendance and mark present for students using checkbox which will be provided in front of every student's name. This attendance sheet will be saved and sent to the central administrator of the organization and stored there. The system will have an admin login. The admin would be able to check all attendance data, press a button to see defaulter list, search for particular student's attendance by name, search class attendance and generate excel reports.
