FAQ of Attendance@HKU for Administrators

The event is either imported from other systems (e.g. SIS/HKUEMS) or you are not authorized to update it.  For imported events, only the venue and check out requirement can be updated, and they cannot be deleted.

The event may be either deleted or lapsed so it is not possible for you to find it. Another reason is that you are not authorized to update the event. You may need to request for relevant rights from your Department Administrator of Attendance@HKU.

The event may not have ended.  You can view the attendance data of an ongoing event using the Real-time Dashboard.

Another reason is that you are not authorized to access the attendance data of the event. You may need to request for relevant rights from your Department Administrator of Attendance@HKU.

Attendance data recorded by the Attendance@HKU app will be kept for 2 complete academic years. For example, if the current academic year is 2020/21, attendance records of events took place in the academic years 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21 can be downloaded.

This is the because the attendees have not entered their names under the HKU Event Management System (HKUEMS).

 

Event Managers please use either “Full Name” OR “Surname” + “First Name” in designing the registration form under HKUEMS to ensure the attendees’ names can be captured in the attendance data file of Attendance@HKU app.

Attendance@HKU app uses Bluetooth to detect attendee’s current location, please ensure Bluetooth is switched ON before check in.

Another reason is that the attendee does not match with the target audience set for the event (e.g. a class which allows only student to check in, but the student is logging in using guest email).
