Below are steps to take attendance within Faith Formation:
Navigate to Attendance > Choose Filters > Select Apply:
Click the Pencil Icon to Record Attendance:
Note: Clicking on the class name will only allow you to add new students to a class, not record attendance.
Mark Present (green check mark) or Absent (red X):
Select the respective drop-down options to select other Attendance Options:
Notes:
- If a student's enrollment date is OUTSIDE of the exact date parameters set for the SESSION, the student will NOT appear in the Attendance List.
- If your class has no meeting dates or is not affiliated with a session, you cannot take attendance for the class.
- Only members added to the Family Directory can be selected when adding a new student. Also, see How to enroll a student to a class through the Attendance page.
- When recording attendance, if most students are present, click the Mark All→ Present option then mark the (x) option for only the absent students. *Can also do it the other way if most students are absent.
- If an 'absent' student shows up, may change the attendance status to present, and then (if you keep minute details) you can click the down caret to the right of the word 'Present' and select 'Tardy.'
- Once you record attendance for this date and student, there is no way to unrecord the attendance record that existed when you first entered the attendance page. Although, you can change from Present to Absent and also change from Absent to Excused or from Present to Tardy by clicking the attendance status down caret and selecting from those options.
