Date	Click in the field to select a valid absence date from the calendar. Or, type the date in the MMDDYYYY format. This is the date on which the student will be posted absent or tardy.
Grade	Select the grade level of the students who were absent.
Track	Select the attendance track. Only tracks established for the campus in the Attendance application are listed.

Indicate the period(s) of the absence in one of the following ways:

From/To Period	Select the range of periods for the absence. Periods are listed according to the settings of the 1st Period Nbr and Last Period Nbr fields on Attendance > Maintenance > Campus > Campus Options.
Period Pattern	Select the pattern that applies to the absence.

Click Retrieve. A list of students in the selected grade level is displayed.

You can re-sort the grid (saved rows only) by clicking an underlined column heading.

Clicking an underlined column heading will sort the grid in ascending order by that column. Click it again to sort in descending order.

A green arrow next to the column heading indicates the column by which the grid is currently sorted and whether it is sorted in ascending or descending order.
If more students are retrieved than can be displayed on one page, you can page through the list.

Click to go to the first page of the report or list.
Click to go back one page.
Click to go forward one page.
Click to go to the last page.
Click to select the page number you want to view in the report or list.

Code	For each student who was absent or tardy, type or click to select the posting code.
	Click to view the student's class schedule for the semester of the specified date. The schedule opens in a pop-up window.

Click Save to post attendance.

You can make changes on multiple tabs to different students and save all changes at once.
If there are multiple pages of students retrieved, you must save each page individually.

If attendance was previously posted for the same student, date, and period, a pop-up window opens when you save prompting to confirm that you want to overwrite the previous data:

The grid displays the previously posted code and the new code for each period, as well as the tab on which the new code was posted, for the date specified on the main page.

Overwrite Code	For each row, indicate if you want to overwrite the existing posting code for the student, date, and selected period(s). If there are multiple rows, you can select the check box in the heading to overwrite the code for all rows. If not selected, the original code will remain.

Click OK. The changes are saved.

Reset	Clear all unsaved changes and start over. The settings of the selection criteria fields will be retained, but all students are cleared.
Print Last Save	A pop-up window opens which displays a list of the last 10 times attendance was posted from any attendance posting tab, including the user ID of staff who posted attendance, and the date-time stamp indicating when the attendance was posted. The list is retained even if you exit the page or application. The posted attendance for each save can be viewed and saved as a PDF. Click View to open the report. The report opens in a new window and includes the student ID, name, grade level, absence/tardy date, period, course (if applicable), district posting code and description. The report heading indicates the tab on which attendance was posted. If multiple tabs were used in one save, the report includes a separate page for each tab. Click Exit to close the report window.
Errors	The button appears if errors are encountered on any attendance posting tab, and the Student Posting Errors pop-up window opens automatically which lists the tab name containing the error, and the error message. Click the tab name to go to the tab where the error exists. The field(s) containing errors are highlighted red. The Student Posting Errors pop-up window is updated as errors are corrected. If all errors are corrected, the Student Posting Errors pop-up window and Errors button are no longer displayed. If you close the Student Posting Errors pop-up window and errors still exist, click the Errors button to re-open the pop-up window.
