Open the Registered devices list in the QR, Biometric & Geo Attendance module to see every device registered for attendance and remove any you no longer want. Each phone or tablet holds its own revocable credential, so removing one does not change anyone's password.
Where do I see the phones and devices registered for staff attendance?
Registered devices is a feature of the QR, Biometric & Geo Attendance module. It lists the devices registered for attendance, and it is also where you remove them.
Use it when a teacher changes phones, a phone is lost, or a gate device is retired. A short review of the list each term also helps you catch devices nobody uses any more.
- Check which devices are currently registered.
- Remove a device that is lost, replaced or no longer in use.
- Review the list after a staff member leaves the school.
How do I remove a phone that should no longer mark staff attendance?
Open the Registered devices list, find the phone or tablet, and remove it. Removing a device cuts off that device only.
This works because attendance tablets, sender phones and gates each hold their own revocable token. Nobody has to change a password, and other staff and devices are unaffected.
- Confirm with the staff member or the gate in charge which device you are removing.
- Remove the device from the Registered devices list.
- Ask the staff member to mark attendance once from the new device and check it appears in Employee Attendance.
How does a phone get registered for staff attendance?
Staff attendance from a phone runs through the Teacher App. The teacher's login is created from the employee record in Staff Management (HRM), where you also assign classes and subjects.
The list itself is where you see and remove devices. If a new phone does not appear there, or you are unsure how to register it, contact EDUBase Support on +92 306 9580389 or ask the in-app assistant.
- Create the Teacher App login from the employee record.
- Make sure the employee's shift and timings are set.
- Check the new device in the Registered devices list after its first use.
Why can a staff member's phone punch fail even when it is registered?
If the school uses geo-location attendance, each campus is pinned on a map with a radius. Staff attendance from the Teacher App must be inside that radius, so a punch from outside it is not accepted.
Out-time rules also apply. For example, an employee who clocks out earlier than the allowed time is recorded as Short Leave automatically. These rules work the same way whatever the reader is.
- Check that the campus pin and radius are correct.
- Check the employee's shift and allowed out time.
- Correct a missed day on the Employee Attendance screen, where the change is logged.
Which staff attendance methods use registered devices?
Staff attendance can come from the register, the Teacher App, QR cards, biometric machines or face tablets. All of them feed the same attendance records, and the month can be locked when salaries are done.
