FAQ:

What can Attendance Designations be used for?

Attendance designations are great for recording program specific information about a student’s attendance.  In some schools beginning hybrid models where students can choose whether they attend in person or not, it is being used to record “in person” or “online” attendance so that reports can quickly identify which students were on campus if needed.  It is also being used to specify that an absence was due to the teacher being absent rather than the student.
