ALE Application: Attendance from SIS for Weekly Contact Setup

Suppose ALE classes are scheduled in your SIS, and attendance is taken daily there. In that case, you can enable the system to create weekly contact records for positive attendance automatically.

All Classes for the Entity or Some?

The first determination is whether ALL classes at your entity will result in attendance that should generate weekly contact records or just some of them.  

Generating Weekly Contact Records for All Classes 

This is done by clicking Manage Attendance from SIS  in the Data Admin left navigation menu. Ensure you are in the School Tab at the top of the page.

Find the School you’d like all classes to generate contact records for. Click the Row Actions & Options gear and select Fulfills ALE Contact Requirement.  

You should now see a Yes in the Fulfills Contact Requirement column. Weekly contact records will now be automatically generated.  

Generating Weekly Contact Records for Selected Classes 

If you have some classes that will fulfill the requirement and some that will not, you can turn on this feature per selected class rather than for the entire School entity. This is done by clicking on the Classes Tab at the top of the screen.

Filter to find specific classes or entities. By default, none of the classes will be set to generate weekly contact records. Click the Row Actions & Options gear and select Fulfills ALE Contact Requirement.  

You should now see a Yes in the Fulfills Contact Requirement column. Weekly contact records will now be automatically generated.  

*Note* - If you choose to identify by individual class, you will want to be sure that the entity toggle generating contact records for all classes is turned off.
