Take attendance period by period

By default, EduHost takes attendance once a day for each class. If you want teachers to mark attendance for every period, turn on period-wise marking in attendance setup.

Before you start

• You need a role that can open the attendance setup page. If you see "This page isn't part of your role", ask your school admin. They can change this under Roles & Permissions.
• It helps to set up your school periods first, under Timetable → Periods.

Steps

1. In the sidebar, open Attendance → Setup.
2. Find the setting for period-wise marking.
3. Turn it on.
4. Click Save. When the change is saved, you see Saved.

After you turn it on

• Teachers mark attendance from Attendance → Mark, as before.
• On a teacher's dashboard, My periods today shows how many of their periods are not marked yet.
• The attendance register and reports still work. To learn more, read View attendance reports.

Good to know

• If you change your mind, go back to Attendance → Setup and turn the setting off.
• For marking once a day, read Mark daily attendance.
• To tell parents when a child is absent, read Send absent alerts to parents automatically.
