Chancery SMS calculates a daily attendance code for each student, that is, whether the student is to be recorded as present or absent for the day. Chancery SMS uses this code for its daily attendance calculations [Calculating daily attendance codes >>].
In a school that uses the Once-daily attendance method, the daily attendance code calculation is straightforward and Chancery SMS makes it by default. In a school that uses the Twice-daily or By class attendance method, this calculation is more complex. In these cases, a School Administrator must choose the calculation method [>>] and configure that method [>>].
