Hello. I need to include an attendance feature in the app which I made for a company. The problem is that the company size is 200+ employees and I can’t use the Glides ready-made template because recording daily attendance for 200+ employees will require a lot of rows (365 days x 200 employees). Is there any way I can make an attendance app by using employees’ names on rows and dates in columns and use (add column values) on daily basis to record the attendance? Or if there is any other way please do let me know. Thanks. @ThinhDinh @Wiz.Wazeer [@experts](https://community.glideapps.com/groups/experts) @Jeff_Hager @George-Glide@SantiagoPerez ---

Hola @Hassan_Nadeem Are you using Glide Tables or Gsheets to record the attendance? If you are using Gsheets, you could upload those rows to another sheet with a script. At the end of the day. I think that the idea of checking attendance is to have a history of it. In case the history is not important you could use something like this: > [@An EASIER and LEANER Trebuchet Method for Multiselect](https://community.glideapps.com/t/an-easier-and-leaner-trebuchet-method-for-multiselect/32241): > > No more ifComma columns, template columns or series of Set Column actions to add and remove items from a multiselect list. [[Glide: A BETTER Trebuchet Method for Multiselect] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cdxcucCysg) Thanks to @Jeff_Hager for the inspiration! > [@Trebuchet Method Tutorial](https://community.glideapps.com/t/trebuchet-method-tutorial/31254): > > Here’s another breakdown of the Trebuchet method for creating a “multi select component” from an inline list. I recorded it for a subscriber of mine, but figured it could benefit everyone. It requires 11 columns and a 6-action Custom Action. Not for the faint of heart, but the end result is very slick and requires no extra rows! ---

Robert- could this app be modified to use barcode scan of a badge to mark someone as "present’? I am thinking at a conference with multiple sessions and everyone has badges. This would give attendance data to the speaker and the conference staff. Maybe also require pre-paid or pre-approved admission to the session and show on screen if they are allowed in or not. ---

Unfortunately, no. I love the idea of barcode scanning for attendance, but unfortunately, the barcode scanner action in Glide isn’t sophisticated (or quick) enough for this purpose in my opinion. I’d love to be proved wrong, though.
