Detailed Attendance
Detailed Attendance (All Attendance) is the default view.
Your schedule is displayed. The date appears in the column heading only if you were marked absent or tardy for any period during that day.
If you were present and on time for the entire day, nothing appears for the date.
If you were not present for the entire class, a code appears for the period and date. A description of each code is displayed in the Legend.
All Attendance/Only Absences View
The Only Absences view is selected by default, which displays the four main absence types:
- Unexcused Absence (U)
- Tardy (T)
- Excused Absence (E)
- School Related (S)
❏ Click or tap the All Attendance button to toggle to see all types.
All applicable codes are listed in the Legend.
❏ Click or tap the Detailed button to return to Simple view.
MOBILE DEVICE USERS: On a mobile device, if you have numerous absences, you may need to tap a row to open the Details view in order to see all absences for a particular class.
Calendar View
❏ Click or tap Calendar View.
All months for the selected semester are displayed.
If you were not present for the entire class for any period of the day, the day is shaded on the calendar according to the legend.
NOTE: If you had multiple types of absences on the same date (such as a tardy and an unexcused absence), the date will be shaded according to the most severe absence type. For example, “Unexcused Absence” is the most severe (red), and “School Related” is the least severe (blue).
❏ Click or tap the date to view details for that date.
The detailed date view opens in place of the month.
For each period you were absent or tardy, the attendance code and description are displayed and color coded according to severity of the absence. The period is only listed if you were marked absent or tardy for that period.
❏ Click [X] to close the detail view.
The full month is again displayed.
Totals View
Click or tap Totals View.
Your classes are listed by period, and the total number of excused absences, unexcused absences, school-related absences (e.g., UIL events or field trips), and tardies for the selected semester are listed.
The Total Absences column displays semester totals for all absence types, excluding tardies.
