Action	Trigger
Post	When a new attendance event is verified and saved for a student: Report attendance for each school the student has a Student School Association record for. Attendance date must fall on or between enrollment start and end dates. Unknown attendance events will not send an event to Ed-Fi. The original post will not appear until an excuseID is entered in the attendance table. Do not send records if attendance records are associated with a Calendar when the Exclude check box is checked. Do not send records if attendance records are associated with a School when the Exclude check box is checked. Do not send records if attendance records are associated with a student whose enrollment is marked as State Exclude. A record sends for each distinct Date and Attendance Event Category Descriptor. Do not send records if attendance records are associated with a student whose enrollment is marked as WISE Exclude. Do not send records if the Grade Level Exclude check box is checked in the grade level record tied to the calendar the student is enrolled in.
Put	If Attendance Event Reason is changed.
Delete	Delete attendance record if all attendance is removed for the day for that Attendance Event Category Descriptor.
