Description
This feature requires that section schedule data is imported.
To track attendance for a section, the section must have a schedule and "Track Attendance" must be enabled. Your section records can be found in Other > Listings > Sections. After you save the record with this box checked, a new "Attendance" tab will appear along the top of the page.
Within the attendance tab you will find your class attendance table. This will show each student registered in the course and their class attendance for each day of the section schedule. By clicking the day header at the top, you can make batch changes to all or all unset records at once for that day. An efficient workflow in this interface may be to mark the absences first, and then mark the remaining unset students as attended.
Faculty accounts can be allowed to track attendance through the "Faculty Options" widget on the dashboard. This requires that the faculty permission group have access to the sections table, which can be added by going to Other > Other Options > Groups > Faculty > Admin/Modules > add "Sections" under "Table Access." "View Entry (No Listing)" will work for minimal access.
Clicking this option will take them to the "Attendance" tab of sections as described above, the other section tabs (Course Info, Enrollment, Schedule) will not be available when opened from the dashboard.
