Quorum Support

Quorum takes class attendance on iPhone and iPad. Every enrolled student starts out present; you mark the exceptions and confirm. Rosters, attendance, notes, and photos stay on your device, and the app exports CSV for gradebooks and makes backups you can keep anywhere.

Contact

Email support@ingleworks.co with any question about Quorum.

If something went wrong, four things make it much easier to track down:

1. Your iOS or iPadOS version (Settings ▸ General ▸ About).
2. The app version (in Quorum, Settings ▸ About & Privacy).
3. What you were doing when it happened.
4. If it was an import, how the roster came in: pasted, scanned, a CSV file, or added by hand.

Please don't send me backups, exports, or screenshots with student names in them unless I ask for one to reproduce a bug. If you do, I delete it once the issue is resolved.

I answer every support email myself.

Requirements

• iOS 17 or later on iPhone, or iPadOS 17 or later on iPad

Frequently asked questions

Does anything leave my device?

Only what you share yourself. Quorum has no account, no server, no sync, and no analytics, and makes no network requests. A CSV export or a backup leaves the device when you send it somewhere from the share sheet. See the Quorum privacy policy.

Why does everyone start out present?

Because most days, most students are there. A new session shows every enrolled student as present in a faint, unconfirmed state; you mark the few who aren't and tap Confirm. Until you confirm, nothing counts — a session left unconfirmed is treated as not recorded, never as perfect attendance.

How do I mark a student?

Press and hold their card and four choices appear around it — by default Present to the right, Absent to the left, Late above, and Excused below. Slide to one and let go. A quick tap applies the quick-tap status (Absent unless you change it). The center target opens the full list of statuses and Add Note. Change the directions in Settings ▸ Swipe Mapping. With VoiceOver, every status can be chosen without the gesture.

What does "meetings not recorded" mean?

It counts the days a class was expected to meet — from its meeting pattern and term dates, minus cancellations and no-class days — that have no confirmed attendance. Those days are left out of the percentage rather than counted as present, and the warning makes sure you can see them. Tap it to list the dates.

How do I add students?

Open the roster and choose Add Students: paste names straight from an email, scan a printed class list, import a CSV or TSV file, add students one at a time, or duplicate the roster of another section. You see every student in an editable preview before anything is saved, and Undo Import reverses the whole import in one step.

A scanned list came in wrong.

Fix it in the preview before you import. If the page prints names in two side-by-side lists, turn on "Columns are two separate lists". If the sheet mixes sections, "Only import section …" keeps just the rows for this class. The photo itself is never saved — only the text you import.

A student added or dropped partway through the term.

A student added mid-term doesn't collect absences from before they enrolled. A dropped student leaves the attendance grid but keeps every record, and the drop date can be backdated or corrected if you find out late. Reinstate reverses a drop.

How do I fix a past day?

Open the section calendar and tap the day. Changes to a confirmed session are recorded with the old value, the new value, and when, and show up in the student's history and the Edited Records export.

My reminders didn't arrive.

Check that reminders are turned on in Quorum's settings, and that notifications are allowed for Quorum in iOS Settings. Class reminders are Time Sensitive, so they come through a Focus if Time Sensitive notifications are allowed for Quorum. iOS limits how many reminders an app can schedule ahead, so if you don't open Quorum for a while, reminders past that point can lapse; the notification settings show how far ahead they're scheduled. Reminders never include student names.

What does the number on the app icon count?

Classes whose attendance hasn't been submitted. In Settings, choose whether it counts all time, the last two weeks, today only, or nothing, or use Clear Badge Now.

How do I get attendance into a spreadsheet or gradebook?

Settings ▸ Data ▸ Export… makes a CSV file in one of five layouts: Long (Tidy), Wide Matrix, Summary, Single Student, or Edited Records. Files open cleanly in Excel and Numbers. Unrecorded days export as "—", never as present, and every file states how many meetings were recorded and unrecorded. For one student, export from their Student Detail page.

How do I back up, or move to a new device?

Settings ▸ Data ▸ Back Up Now makes a single .attendancebackup file you can save to Files, AirDrop, or email. On the new device, Settings ▸ Data ▸ Restore from Backup… shows what will change before anything is written. Merge This Backup adds and updates without deleting anything; Replace Everything swaps in the backup completely, after you type REPLACE, and first saves an automatic backup of what it replaced. Your device's own iCloud or computer backup also includes Quorum's data.

Quorum says my attendance data could not be opened.

Don't delete the app — nothing has been deleted or changed. Try Retry first. Save a copy of the data file keeps the original safe, and Restore from a Backup… loads a backup you've made. Then email me.

What's the difference between archiving and deleting a section?

Archive keeps everything and stops the section's reminders — the usual thing at the end of a term. Delete removes the section and its attendance permanently, and asks you to type the section's name first.

Can I lock Quorum?

Yes. Turn on App Lock in Settings ▸ About & Privacy, and Quorum asks for Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode whenever you return to it. It needs a device passcode to be set. It protects the app on your device, not files you have already exported or shared.
