Attendance Setup

Attendance is used to track absences and lateness.

Attendance Setup

Before using any attendance screens, courses and sessions must be set up. 

(Students must be enrolled properly as well.)

If sessions were not set up, it is not possible to track attendance.

Attendance Types

Attendance types are the types of attendance that are being tracked. 

Ex: Absent, Late, Full day Absence, Early exit etc.

Attendance types setup

To set up attendance types go to:

Tools > List Editor 

Under 'Editable Lists', choose 'Attendance Type'.

Add additional attendance types by entering the new name in the field next to the black down-arrow and then clicking the arrow.

The new attendance type will appear at the bottom of the list.

Columns:

• LSV_Value- the attendance type
• LSV_int1- the default attendance status (ie- excused, unexcused, pending). This can be more easily set up on the attendance grid (see Attendance Entry)
• LSV_Text1- the Alphabetical letter to represent the attendance type. (i.e. Absent = 'A', Late = 'L')
