Local attendance codes may be created in one school within a district and copied to other schools in the same district. This allows the district to quickly standardize codes across all schools, allowing the schools to create local attendance codes.

Update matching codes and insert missing ones

This option modifies the description, state code, status and excuse based on a match to the Code field. Codes from the Source Calendar are inserted as additional attendance codes.

Full synchronization

This option copies all codes directly from the Source Calendar to the Destination Calendar. It removes any code from the Destination Calendar that does not match one in the Source Calendar and inserts any codes from the Source Calendar that are not currently in the Destination Calendar.
