Functional and technical release details
Functional Release Highlights
What’s New?
QR Code Proof of Work for Attendance
Every employee now gets a unique QR code.
Supervisors use the mobile app to scan the QR code and mark attendance.
This works even without internet; data syncs when a connection is available.
Both mobile and non-mobile employees are covered.
The overall attendance process doesn’t change, but now you must scan a QR code for proof.
Why is This Important?
Stops “proxy” (fake) attendance and manual tampering.
Makes attendance more trustworthy and easy to verify.
Keeps things simple for supervisors.
Prepares for future features like location and time stamping.
