Touch Registration: Software & Reports

The Sentinel attendance monitoring software, which interfaces with both SIMS and Facility, has been successfully used in schools throughout the country for over 15 years. It is Windows based, easy to install, intuitive to use and requires minimal or no training. The software comes complete with a clear, comprehensive, installation and user manual. Fingerprints are digitally stored in an encrypted form within a secured database, which is stored on the network server.

Easy to read screens allow staff to instantly view and/or print off real-time attendance data and the system includes a large number of reports and letters as standard, including all required statutory reports. Customised reports can also be created to meet specific needs. These accurate, real-time reports can be quickly and easily viewed, downloaded or printed enabling you to effectively monitor attendance and accurately administer the EMA.

These reports include:

• Attendance – session by session or lesson by lesson attendance for each specific week, for individuals and groups
• Weekly Summary - weekly attendance summary in morning and afternoon sessions, depicted using a herringbone effect
• Daily Absences - daily summary by period for individuals or groups. Reports for absent all day, absent once a day and late once a day. Includes times absent and times late
• Three Day Absences - students not attending for 3 days or more. Reports are sorted by name, tutor group or date
• Subject Reports – reports by specific classes for selected date ranges
• Registration Certificates – full year report of individual’s attendance
• Group Reports - creates special lists of students for use with the following reports: registration history, daily attendance, record of attendance, weekly summary and the whereabouts of those on the list
• EMA Reports - reports for the Assessment and Payments Board. See our EMA Management section for further information
