This article provides information on how the mark future periods works when student signs in in kiosk as Late Arrival and already marked as UA in the class roll.
Previously, when a student arrives late and signs in via the kiosk, and the attendance has already been marked as UA by the teacher, the attendance roll in the student profile would not be updated. Now, if the student attendance has been marked using the 'Marked Linked Periods' option, the system will automatically update the marked attendance, marking the current period as 'Late Arrival' and the remaining periods as 'Present.'
Note:
- This will only be applied if the 'Marked Linked Periods' is ticked in the Class page.
To configure the system to mark future periods, follow these steps:
-
Navigate to Options > Kiosk Settings and enable the following options:
- Overwrite: On sign-in and sign-out, overwrite existing marked attendance.
- On sign-in, update linked class marked as UA.
2. Ensure that the 'Late Arrival' reason is set up correctly in the Attendance Reasons settings. Go to Options > Attendance & Timetable and click the 'Modify' button for Attendance Reasons.
Once these settings are configured, when a student signs in as 'Late Arrival' on the Kiosk, the attendance will be automatically updated.
