How can I take attendance for an instructor when they are out?

This article explains how admin can enter attendance on behalf of the instructor in both Self Contained and Secondary Modes. This is beneficial because occasionally, instructors are unable to take period attendance due to being absent. 

Self-Contained Attendance

Admin can enter period attendance for an instructor via the Unentered Period Attendance page within the Attendance module.

To enter attendance for an instructor in Unentered Period Attendance:

1. Go to School Main > Attendance > Unentered Period Attendance
2. Set the date
3. (Secondary mode only) Select the period
4. Find the instructor you wish to enter attendance for
5. Click Enter Attendance
6. Select attendance codes for all students in the class
7. Save

Secondary Mode

While it is possible to use the above method, admin in schools using Secondary Mode should use the Period Attendance Console to enter attendance on behalf of an instructor.

To take attendance for an instructor using the Period Attendance Console:

1. Go to School Main > Attendance > Period Attendance Console
2. Select a date
3. Find the instructor you wish to enter attendance for
4. Select the class
5. Enter the attendance codes for all students in the class
6. Save
