This is an old revision of the document!


Click to enter attendance comments for the student by period. Comments can only be entered if a posting code is entered. The icon does not appear until a date is selected.

A pop-up window opens allowing you to view, add, and update comments.



For example, if the student brings a note from the doctor excusing the absence, you can add a comment to record that a note was provided.

If the same comment applies to multiple periods, you can type the comment once, and select the periods to apply the comment to. Or, you can enter individual comments for each period.

The icon is yellow if comments currently exist for the student, date, and any of the selected periods. The icon is white if the student has no comments on that date.

All Periods (##-##)

Select if you are entering a comment that will apply to the student for all periods on that date. Otherwise, you will select individual periods.

IMPORTANT: If selected, the comment applies to all periods, even if the From/To Period fields are not set to include all periods. For example, if the campus has 8 periods, but the From/To Period fields are set to periods 1-3, the comment will be applied to all 8 periods.

Select

Select one or more periods to apply the displayed comment to.

To apply the comment to all displayed periods (according to the selections of the From/To Period fields), select the check box in the heading row. Note that this may not include all periods.

If you selected All Periods or the check box in the heading row, all individual period fields are selected by default. They can be cleared as needed.

If you have added, edited, or deleted any comments in the comment space, the changes or deletion will be applied to the selected period(s).
