I. Intro

Who can perform these steps: Primary administrators or administrators with "Attendance" permission.

Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) can be seen as the unique hardware address of a Wi-Fi access point. With the same Wi-Fi name, the BSSID is still different. As an administrator, if you enable Wi-Fi attendance based on BSSID, the attendance group members can clock in and out with the specified Wi-Fi network.

For more information about other attendance methods, see Attendance methods: GPS, Wi-Fi, or attendance machine.

II. Steps

Prerequisite: You must have the BSSID of the Wi-Fi you're going to use for taking attendance in advance. Ask your IT admin for the complete BSSID of the Wi-Fi.

Note: If you're in an attendance group that already uses Wi-Fi for attendance and you want to use the same Wi-Fi for the group you're going to configure, you can find the BSSID of that Wi-Fi in the Attendance app > Settings > Settings > About this device.

After you get the BSSID of the attendance Wi-Fi, you can configure the settings for an attendance group following the steps below.

Open the Attendance admin console and do either of the following on the Group Settings page:

Click New to create a new attendance group.

Click an existing attendance group to open its details page.

Go to Attendance Methods and select Clock in/out by Wi-Fi. Click Edit if you're viewing an existing attendance group.

Enter the BSSID in either of the following ways:

Important: Ensure you enter the entire BSSID address correctly. If the BSSID address is incomplete or incorrect, members won't be able to clock in or out.

Add BSSID one by one: Click Add BSSID, enter the Wi-Fi name and BSSID in the pop-up, and click Confirm. Repeat to add multiple BSSIDs.

Batch import by Excel:

Note: If BSSIDs have already been added to the attendance group, the imported information will replace the original ones.

Click Import BSSID.

In the pop-up, click Export to download the template.

Fill in Wi-Fi Name and Wi-Fi BSSID in the spreadsheet.

In the pop-up, click Import to upload the completed spreadsheet.

Click Save or Confirm to apply the settings to the attendance group.
