How to use Attendance Confirmation

Attendance Confirmation ensures that all learner attendance data (including absentees) has been captured correctly. This step is mandatory for weekly reporting compliance and successful data exports.

My School > People  >  Learners > Attendance: Attendance Confirmation

Confirming attendance keeps records tidy for submission, guarantees the integrity of academic data, and keeps the school compliant with Department requirements.

How do I confirm attendance?

  1. Filter your view: Select the relevant Year, Grades (or all), Status (Confirmed, Not Confirmed or All) and the specific Date to verify.

  2. Confirm records:
      • Individual: Find the register class, tick the box in the Confirmed column and click Save Changes.
      • Bulk: Click Confirm All to verify all records for the selected day in one action.

  • Tip: To correct a mistake after confirming (e.g. add or remove an absentee), return to this screen, untick the Confirmed box for that class and click Save Changes. Then update the learner’s attendance on their profile.

  • Best practice: Confirm attendance daily or weekly to avoid a backlog before export deadlines. Use the Not Confirmed filter to quickly see which classes still have outstanding registers.

Frequently asked questions

Can I undo an attendance confirmation?

Yes. Return to the Attendance Confirmation screen, untick the Confirmed checkbox for the relevant class, and click Save Changes. You can then go to the learner’s profile to make the necessary attendance corrections before re-confirming.
