From the iWise attendance management screen

      

This method is recommended for attendance administration staff. Attendance administration staff are likely to use this method in conjunction with marking a school roll. (Not just event attendance.)

 

lightbulb_on  The instructions below cover event attendance only. Full instructions on how to manage attendance can be found in Student attendance

 

1.Go to Data Entry | Attendance | Manage (or just click Data Entry if this is your Data Entry module home page).
2.Locate the student you wish to mark absent from the event. The easiest way to do this is to enter their surname into the Name field in the Search for students area at the top, and clicking Search.
3.You will be able to see that the student is recorded as attending an event – their colour indicator will be yellow, and the event category will be showing in the Type field.

4.Click on the student’s row. This will load the details of the event attendance record on the right of screen.
5.In the Attendance field, change the option from On Event to Absent - if they are away from school - or At School - if they are absent from the event, but still at school.

If the student is late to the event, or leaves early, adjust the Arrived and Departed times.

 

lightbulb_on  If you change the Arrived time, this is not necessarily recording the student as arriving late for school.
