IDAttend is computer software program specifically for tracking and reporting student attendance at schools.
The system may be used at secondary as well as primary schools.
IDAttend may be used to take attendance on a period by period basis or only one or two times per day.

Extensive Import and Export functions are available to help keeping school administration systems up to date.
The system is primarily a client/server application utilizing Microsoft SQL Server (full version of SQL Server not supplied, SQL Server 2005 Express is supplied) or a Microsoft Access database for those schools not running or unable to run SQL Server. SQL Server is the recommended database platform in a multi-user environment.

Attendance may be taken in the following manner:

• Teachers in the classroom where a computer and network connection is available.
• Teachers in their office or any other networked computer later in the day.
• Administration staff using barcoded lists marked previously by teachers.
• Via workstations fitted with barcode/magnetic stripe scanners. Students scan their ID card. Touch screens also available.
• With a stand alone version of IDAttend on a laptop and synchronised with the main database at a later stage. 

Student Details and Timetable can be imported from CSV files generated by OneSchool, SIMS, CASES21, MAZE, OASIS, Timechart, Timetabler etc. There is also the option to import these details directly from any SQL Server or Access database.
Attendance details exported to common school Administration systems. OneSchool, SIMS, CASES21, OASIS, MAZE.
