Frequently Asked Questions
How does QR code textbook tracking work?
Each textbook gets a unique QR code. Teachers scan the QR code and learner ID to link them. The system tracks every book's location and condition throughout the year.
What happens when a textbook is lost?
When books aren't returned by year-end, the system automatically generates bills added to the parent's fee account with notifications sent through the communication system.
Can we track library books too?
Yes, the same QR system works for library books with check-in/check-out, due dates, overdue notifications, and borrowing history for each learner.
How do we generate QR codes?
MyEncore generates QR code sheets that can be printed and applied to books. You can generate codes in bulk for new book orders or individually as needed.
Can parents see which books their child has?
Yes, parents view their child's complete book list in the parent portal, including due dates for library books and any outstanding returns.
Does it work offline?
The mobile app supports offline scanning with sync when connectivity returns - perfect for book rooms without reliable WiFi.
