Swiper is a web-based application developed to streamline attendance tracking across Liberty University. It operates directly within web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, eliminating the need for additional software installations. Widely adopted by departments throughout the university, Swiper helps monitor various types of attendance, including visits to specific locations, participation in scheduled appointments, and verification of access to events or facilities.

Swiper is managed by the App Dev – Cards team, while ADS and customer groups are responsible for managing locations, reasons for attendance, and operator access. This collaborative structure ensures that Swiper remains a flexible and reliable solution for managing attendance in a variety of contexts.

How can I use the data I get from Swiper?

There are multiple reports that ADS has created in Tableau (reports.liberty.edu) to show various ways of looking at data in Swiper to make business decisions. Some of the data points that have been shown are as follows:

  • Volume of those using the location and highest times of use
  • Demographic data of those using the location
  • Event volume – if the location uses reasons to differentiate their location, reports can be made showing different reasons people come (including events that the location holds)
  • Students served and their connection to other groups of students (cohort relationships)

If you are currently using Swiper and would like to better understand the population using your location and how to better serve them, submit a ticket for a Report Request.
