There are three methods of taking attendance: Class Attendance Entry (With/Without Barcode Reader), Class Attendance Using a Scanner, Teacher Deviations.
It is important to run Reports of Classes Missed at the end of the day to transfer all information into a Permanent Attendance Register. This information may be changed on an individual student basis at any time.
After changing the date, a school must initialize the Temporary Register by choosing Initialize Today’s Attendance. In fact, a school will not be able to enter attendance for the day until this has been run. This prevents anyone from entering attendance on the wrong date.
Before daily entry may begin, certain information pertaining to the school’s set up must be defined:
Defining Attendance Codes - Attendance, Attendance Codes
Define Attendance Parameters - Attendance, Attendance Parameters
Define Excursion Lists - Attendance, Modify Excursion Lists
