How to use Checklist

Guide for teachers and group admins

1. Get started — create your group

  1. Open the app home page.
  2. Tap Get started.
  3. Enter your Group name (e.g. Vadodara). This becomes your student link.
  4. Enter your name, email, and password.
  5. Tap Create group — you are now the admin.

Example: Group name Vadodara → student link becomes https://cl.saidava.com/vadodara

Create your group

2. Add checklist items

  1. From the admin dashboard, open Checklist.
  2. Type a task title (e.g. Surya Namaskar in the morning).
  3. Tap Add.
  4. Add as many daily tasks as you need.

These items appear for every student each day. Students tick them when done.

3. Add students

  1. Open Students in the admin menu.
  2. Enter the student’s name.
  3. Set a password (backup — at least 4 characters).
  4. Set a 4-digit PIN (used every day to log in).
  5. Tap Add student.

Tell each student their PIN privately. They will use name + PIN to open their checklist.

4. Share the link with students

On your dashboard you will see the Student link. Copy and share it via WhatsApp, SMS, or email.

Replace your-group-name with your group slug (e.g. vadodara).

5. Daily deadline — tick before midnight

Students must complete their checklist before midnight (12 AM) each day. This keeps everyone regular.

Timezone: India (IST). Midnight means 12:00 AM Indian time.

Tell your students:

“Open the link, tick your tasks before sleeping. If you miss midnight, that day counts as incomplete.”

6. Track who completed

Dashboard shows today’s progress for each item:

Daily report — pick any date to see who ticked what that day (✓ = done, — = missed).

Monthly report — see regularity over a whole month:

Missed days (not ticked before midnight) show up as gaps in both daily and monthly reports.

7. How students use it

  1. Open the group link on their phone.
  2. Select their name from the list.
  3. Enter their 4-digit PIN.
  4. Tick items as they complete them — before midnight.
  5. Tap Logout when finished (optional).

If they forget to tick before midnight, those items are missed for that day. They start fresh the next morning.

FAQ

How do I log in again as admin?
Use Admin login with your group slug, email, and password.
Can I change a student’s PIN?
Remove the student and add them again with a new PIN.
What if a student forgets their PIN?
Admin can remove and re-add the student with a new PIN.
What happens if a student misses midnight?
That day is closed. Unticked items stay missed and show as incomplete in reports. They cannot backfill yesterday — only today’s checklist can be ticked.
Can a student tick yesterday’s items today?
No. Only the current day’s checklist is open. Each day resets at midnight (IST).
Does the checklist carry over to tomorrow?
No. Students must tick before midnight. After 12 AM that day is locked. A new checklist starts each morning.
What if a student keeps the page open past midnight?
The checklist locks automatically at midnight. They must refresh or tap “Open today’s checklist” for the new day.
Can two groups use the same app?
Yes. Each group has its own URL, students, items, and admin.
