How do I add future attendance? – Knowledge Base

Adding future attendance is useful if you know in advance that a student or group of students will be out on specific days in the future. For example, a parent schedules a dentist appointment or the students have a field trip. You can also use this feature to enter attendance in bulk for past days, such as marking all students absent for an emergency day.

Go to Admin Main > Attendance > Daily Attendance
