Scenario:
An attendance system allows to add the attendance of the employee who is present on that day. The user has to
login and swipe their identity card to mark their attendance. As the card has been swiped, the details like id
number, date, in-time, out-time are saved in the database. The database will be stored into the azure cloud which
will form a connection between application and cloud server via internet. With the in-time and out-time data
stored in cloud, the admin can calculate the working hours of the employees. The employees can view his
personal details, attendance, in-time or out-time, total working hours after he/she logs into the system. This data
is retrieved from the cloud database and can be accessed any time by the employee and the admin. The admin of
the system can add new employee by registering the new employee and filling up their registration details. The
admin is authorized to view the records of all the employees. This system allows to keep up to date record of the
employee. As, the project files and a database file will be stored into the Azure cloud, the project will be
accessed in the web browser through Azure link.
