On-site collection

Set up a session and collect attendance signatures

Attendance tracking brings together a training course, its participants and its sessions. Tablet signature collection uses a separate interface from the organiser workspace.

Before you start

  • Open attendance tracking for the form from your workspace.
  • Have the form's operator PIN ready for the collection tablet.

Steps

  1. Create the training course

    Fill in “Formation” (Training course) and “Organisme” (Organisation), then use “Créer la formation” (Create the training course). The Participants and Sessions sections become available.

  2. Import participants

    Import a CSV or XLSX file in Participants. Check names and groups before continuing. Correct the file or column mapping if a name is missing.

  3. Add a session

    Enter the session title, date, half-day and instructor, then click “Ajouter” (Add). Select the session from the list.

  4. Open signature collection

    On the tablet prepared online, click “Ouvrir la collecte” (Open collection). Enter the operator PIN and use “Préparer et verrouiller” (Prepare and lock). Collection replaces the organiser session on this device.

  5. Collect and check signatures

    Select the participant, ask them to draw their signature and confirm. The attendance count updates. Once the connection returns, sync and check the received attendance records in your organiser workspace.

  6. Export the attendance sheet

    In attendance management, choose the session and the PDF export. Check the date, half-day, participants and signatures before sharing the sheet.

What the record contains

The sheet records the signature, the time it was entered and the time it was received. This is a simple electronic signature, not a qualified electronic signature under eIDAS. For funded training, ask the funding body what evidence of attendance it requires.

Troubleshooting

A signature is still pending on the tablet

Reconnect the tablet and check the relevant session. Do not clear its storage until the attendance record appears in the organiser workspace.
