Current status needs context
A resident may be present, on approved leave, newly admitted, temporarily reassigned, or missing an expected event. The system should explain status using the records administrators already manage rather than presenting isolated device activity.
Exceptions deserve a workflow
Late returns, missing attendance, device failures, and permission mismatches should enter a clear review queue. Assign responsibility, capture resolution notes, and keep the final attendance record traceable.
Room information belongs in the same picture
Attendance becomes more useful when administrators can move from a resident to their room, allocation history, contact information, and relevant permissions without searching separate registers.
Reports should answer operational questions
Design reporting around real decisions: occupancy, expected versus recorded attendance, unresolved exceptions, approved leave, and patterns requiring attention. More charts are not a substitute for clear action.
