We've enhanced Educate’s attendance tracking system by introducing check-in and check-out times, enabling bulk actions, ensuring data consistency, and improving the user interface for better usability. This update is available to both Teachers and Admins views.
✅ Key Features Delivered

Fields were added to capture exact check-in and check-out times for students.
This addressed a major user request for minute-level attendance tracking
This data point is optional. Feel free to use it if it adds value for you—otherwise, you can continue tracking attendance without updating the timestamp

Validations were added to ensure correct time entries and prevent data loss.
