How to set up biometric attendance (Admin — Web)

💻
Web Steps
1
Log in as Admin at vennsilix.com.
2
Go to Admin → Biometric → Devices.
3
Click Add Device.
4
Enter the Device Serial Number (SN) and a Location Label (e.g. Main Gate, Staff Room) — both required.
5
Allowed IP is optional, if you want to restrict which network address the device connects from.
6
Click Save & Get Key — this generates the key your device uses to communicate with the system; configure this on the physical device itself following your device manufacturer's instructions.
7
Next, go to Admin → Biometric → Enrollments.
8
Click Add Enrollment.
9
Choose Person Type (Student or Teacher).
10
For a student, select Class and Section, then search for and select the student.
11
Complete the fingerprint capture on the physical device as prompted.
12
Once enrolled, that person's attendance can be marked automatically whenever they punch in on any connected device.
💡 Tips & Notes

This is a brief overview — enrolled attendance still shows up in your regular Attendance reports and Attendance 360, marked with a biometric source indicator rather than manual entry. Each person needs to be individually enrolled before biometric attendance works for them; adding a device alone doesn't automatically enroll anyone.
