Batches and attendance

#Batches

Batches lists every batch with its course, mode (in person, online or hybrid), trainer, schedule, dates and seats. Administrators and service staff create them; trainers see their own.

When you create a batch, set its class days and times. Compass creates every session and skips your holidays (Settings → Time off). If a session moves, students see it on their timeline and can get a WhatsApp message, and the trainer is told.

#Attendance

Open a session to take attendance:

• QR check-in: show a code that changes every 30 seconds. Students scan it and enter their mobile number. More than 15 minutes after the start counts as Late.
• Google Meet: after an online class, mark everyone who joined as present.
• By hand: Present, Late, Absent or Excused, with Mark the rest absent to finish.

#The service desk

Service lists students who may need help, most at risk first, with the reasons:

• attendance under 75% of the last four sessions;
• missed assessments;
• no contact for 14 days;
• overdue fees.

Draft a check-in writes a short, warm message for you to edit and send. The student's name is hidden from the AI while it drafts.

#Ready for placement

A student's placement readiness checklist needs good attendance, every assessment scored, no overdue fees and a résumé confirmed as ready. Once every item passes, service moves them to placement.
