Do I still need to manually update absence and discipline?
No. Data captured here is automatically used to update learner absences and code of conduct data, provided the tardy and late reason is linked to discipline.
Where do I set up tardy and late reasons?
At My School > General > Databases > Tardy and Late Setup.
Can I change an entry after it has been saved?
Yes. The system will cancel the previous entry and allow you to complete the new information.
