The attendance method determines how often attendance is taken each day and how it is tallied. At a school, you can set up one of three methods for taking attendance:
| = | Once-daily: Attendance is taken once a day, typically in the homeroom. |
| = | Twice-daily: Attendance is taken twice a day, typically in the homeroom. By default, half-day homerooms are set to take once-daily attendance based on their interval time (AM or PM). |
| = | By class: Attendance is taken in each class. This method is only available to a secondary school. |
Caution: Once you set up the attendance-taking method for a school, and schedules have been created [>>] or attendance has been taken [>>], you can change the attendance method only if you first clear attendance [>>].
Note: For any attendance-taking method, you can specify the assumed attendance, that is, the default attendance code [>>].
