9. An attendance system allows adding the attendance of the employee/student who is present on that
day. The user has to login and scan their identity card to mark their attendance. As the card has been
scanned, the details like id number, date, in-time, out-time are saved in the database. The
database will be stored into the azure cloud which will form a dedicated connection between
application and cloud server via internet. With the in-time andout-time data stored in cloud, the
admin can calculate the working hours of the employees. The employees can view his personal
details, attendance, in-timeor out-time, total working hours after he/she logs into the system.
This data is retrieved from the cloud database and can be accessed any time by the employee and
the admin.
The admin of the system can add new employee by registering the new employee and filling up
their registration details. The admin is authorized to view the records of all the employees. This
system allows keeping up to date record of the employee. As, the project files and a database file
will be stored into the Azure cloud, the project will be accessed in the web browser
Following components make this project useful-
User can’t add proxy attendance.
The database is secured as it is stored in an Azure cloud server.Employee working hours is
calculated systematic manner. Since, Employee working hours are calculated which enables user to
easily calculate the salary and over time.

Table Summary:

13. • Research Gap Motivation
Every organization whether it be an educational institution or business organization, it has to
maintain a proper record of attendance of students or employees for effective functioning of
organization. Designing a better attendance management system for students so that records be
maintained with ease and accuracy was an important key behind motivating this project. This

14. would improve accuracy of attendance records because it will remove all the hassles of roll calling
and will save valuable time of the students as well as teachers.
Image processing and finger print recognition are very advanced today in terms of technology.
It was our responsibility to improve finger print identification system. We decreased matching time by
partitioning the database to one-tenth and improved matching using key based one to many matching.
• Proposed System
 Considering the anomalies in the existing system computerization of the whole activity
isbeing suggested after initial analysis.
 The windows as well as web application is developed using Visual Studio with Asp .Net
withC# as a programming language.

15.  Proposed system is accessed by two entities namely, Admin and Handler.
 Admin can access the web application where as a handler can access the windows
application.
 Admin need to login with their valid login credentials first in order to access the web
application.
 After successful login, admin can access all the modules and perform/manage each
taskaccurately.
 Admin can perform task such as adding new class details and managing it whenever
required,
adding a handler and assigning it to a respective class, registering new student with basic
details, academic and fingerprint details.
 System allows admin to take attendance using web application which sends a
request towindows application to scan registered students fingerprint in order to mark
attendance.
 Admin can view and manage student’s details whenever required.
 Attendance report can be viewed by the admin itself.
 Handler at the other end can login using valid credentials and start the windows
application inorder to mark student attendance.
Once all the students finished with attendance marking, handler can stop the application.
• Existing System
Problem with current scenario
As we can see now, all the attendances are keep in form of paper that the student must sign it
manually. This is not a systematic method where the form can be lost and may be damaged.

16. Thelecturer also must put the form in any files or folders that it needs some spaces to put in
rack or cabinet.
The problem description of this project is the existing manual class attendance signing system for
subject Project Formulation is inefficient and not systematic. The existing manual class attendance
signing system needs students improperly sign the attendance sheet during class. The lecturer has
tokeep all attendance sheets and calculate the attendance report throughout the semester
manually and come out with their own, not standardize student’s attendance report. In the
manual system, students can easily forge their friend’s signature purposely to fill in the class
attendance.
Drawbacks of the existing system
• Maintenance of the system is very difficult.
• There is a possibility for getting inaccurate results.
• User friendliness is very low.
• Results
An automatic attendance management system provides accurate time tracking, which helps to
minimise the costly and inevitable errors in the manual data entry processes. This kind of accurate data
helps provide accurate payroll and performance data.
The result of a cloud-based attendance system is an efficient and streamlined method of tracking and
managing attendance records. It allows for real-time tracking of employee or student attendance,

17. eliminates manual processes such as paper-based systems, reduces errors and inaccuracies, provides
convenient access to attendance data from anywhere with an internet connection, and enables
automated reporting and analysis for better decision-making. Overall, a cloud-based attendance system
improves productivity, accuracy, and transparency in attendance management.
A cloud-based attendance system offers several benefits, including:
• Enhanced Efficiency: The system automates attendance tracking, eliminating the need for
manual processes. This saves time and effort for both administrators and
employees/students.
• Real-time Tracking: With a cloud-based system, attendance data is updated in real-time,
providing accurate and up-to-date information. This enables timely decision-making and
immediate action, such as identifying absenteeism or addressing attendance issues
promptly.
• Accessibility and Convenience: The cloud-based nature of the system allows authorized
users to access attendance data anytime and from anywhere with an internet connection.
This flexibility is particularly useful for remote work or multi-location setups.
• Error Reduction: Manual attendance tracking is prone to errors, such as data entry
mistakes or misplaced records. A cloud-based system reduces such errors by automating
the process and ensuring data integrity.
• Reporting and Analysis: Cloud-based attendance systems often provide robust reporting
and analysis features. Administrators can generate various attendance reports, track
trends, identify patterns, and gain insights into attendance patterns and behaviors. This
information can inform strategic decisions and help improve overall productivity.
• Integration and Scalability: Cloud-based attendance systems can integrate with other
software or systems, such as payroll or HR systems, creating a seamless workflow.
Additionally, they can easily scale to accommodate growing organizations or changing
needs.
• Cost Savings: By eliminating paper-based processes and reducing manual efforts, a
cloud-based attendance system can lead to cost savings in terms of paper, printing,
storage, and administrative resources.
Overall, the result of implementing a cloud-based attendance system is improved efficiency,
accuracy, accessibility, and data-driven decision-making in managing attendance records.
• Conclusion and Future Work
 The system can be used for schools, college, or universities for taking down attendance.
 The system can be used during parents meeting to show parents about their
children'sattendance performance.
 It can also be implemented in organizations for attendance.

18.  The system is helpful as it generates a systematic overall report of every class attendance.
 The system helps the faculty to easily view attendance report on a single click.
 It maintains the records in a large database instead of conventional method of
maintainingregister which further simplifies the process of searching for a particular
record.
 Admin may easily get attendance history of a particular student.
 The system introduces a manageable and systematic approach of maintain
attendancerecords.
 No proxy attendance will be entertained.
 It saves user time, cost and institute resources.
 Records can be easily accessed and store and other information respectively.
 Maintaining the all secured and database on the server which will be accessible
according the user requirement without any maintenance cost will be a very efficient as
compared to storing all the customer data on the spreadsheet or in physically in the
record books.
Cloud Based Attendance System is designed in a easy way. So maintenance is also easy.
