SEQTA Kiosk manages attendance based on how the Attendance types are configured and which mode is being used (i.e. 'Class-Based' or 'Campus-Wide'). See below for detailed information for these settings.
Please consult with the SEQTA Client Engagement Specialist before making any changes to the Attendance types to ensure that they fit with the school attendance processes and policies.
This article contains the following sections:
- Class-Based and Campus-Wide Modes
- Attendance Type Configurations

- Attendance Priorities
Class-Based and Campus-Wide Modes
SEQTA Kiosk may be deployed in one of two modes that govern how the system generates attendance solutions: 'Class-Based' and 'Campus-Wide'. Each Kiosk (iPad) can support only one mode. If a school requires both modes to be available, an additional iPad will be required.
Please refer to the following articles for detailed information on how SEQTA manages Kiosk attendance based on the 'mode':
Attendance Type Configurations
The Attendance types for SEQTA Kiosk will be configured during the implementation stage and is provided on the Kiosk implementation form. However, changes may be required to cater for the school's attendance policies and processes.
Please consult with the SEQTA Client Engagement Specialist before making any changes to the Attendance types to ensure that they fit with the school attendance processes and policies.
How the System Determines Which Icon to Display
The system can only display one icon for each period under the standard view. The system determines which of the two attendance types is displayed based on:
- The percentage of the class the student was present for
- Whether or not the unresolved late goes for 5 mins or less
Regardless of the icon that appears, the underlying attendance will be recorded correctly and can be seen under Time-Based View. (Previously called Linear view)
Attendance Priorities
SEQTA Kiosk will only overwrite attendance of a higher priority in cases where a student tags in and has an 'Unresolved Absence' prior to the time they arrive. When this occurs, the attendance will be overwritten with the tag-in type which will generally also be an 'Unresolved Absence'. See below table for default priority listing.
Attendance priorities
| Method used to record attendance | Priority |
| Teacher's Attendance roll page - accessed through the "@" for the class | 5 |
| Attendance Administration > Manage Attendance (normal priority) | 10 |
| Kiosk | 20 |
| Tutor | 25 |
| Attendance Administration > Manage Attendance (high 'overwrite' priority) | 100 |
| Student information manage (SIP) | 100 |
