Tool Search: Attendance Wizard
The Daily Mode records student attendance for the entire day. The student will be marked absent for all scheduled attendance periods in the day. For example, if a parent/guardian calls the attendance office indicating their student is ill and will not be in attendance, the attendance clerk can use the Daily Mode to process that student.
The Daily Mode is automatically selected when recording attendance.
- Enter the Attendance Date for which to record attendance.
- Verify the Daily Mode is selected.
- Enter Search criteria to return students.
- Click the Search button. Students matching the entered criteria display in Column B.
- Select the students from Column B to move to Column C. Only students in Column C will have attendance entered for them.
- Select the Attendance Code from the dropdown list. This code will be applied to all students in Column C.
- Enter Comments related to the attendance entry.
- Select the appropriate Comments Options from the dropdown list. This affects students who may already have attendance and attendance comments entered.

If the entered date is a non-attendance day (set on the Calendar Days tab) in the School and Schedule selected in the Campus toolbar, a warning message displays indicating attendance can only be recorded for days marked as attendance.
- When a school has multiple schedule structures and a specific schedule is selected in the Schedule field, that schedule is used to determine if the entered date is an attendance day.
- When a school has multiple schedule structures and the Schedule field is set to All, the schedule with the highest structureID is used to determine if the entered date is an attendance day.
