What happens, step by step
- 1 Start on the admin Dashboard; click Attendance in the sidebar, then Command Center.
- 2 The Today tab opens with Needs a look at the top: days the rule left for the office. They don't count until someone settles them.
- 3 Click the student's Needs review result to open the day.
- 4 Read what the rule saw: the classes it looked at, with their marks, and anything else on the day, such as a sign-in time.
- 5 Click How the rule got there to see each sentence it tried, and the one that fit. When classes met at the same time, it names them and says they count as one class.
- 6 Under Settle this day, choose what the day counts as, and add a note if you like.
- 7 Click Settle. The day now says who set it, when, and the note, with Undo beside it, and what it was before it was settled.
- 8 Close the window. The Command Center updates: the day leaves Needs a look and counts as the result you chose.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a day need review?
Because a sentence in your day rule says so. In the starting points that use it, that is a student who signed in but missed every class, or who skipped a class between classes they attended. How the rule got there names the sentence that fit.
Do days that need review count in attendance rates?
No. A day that needs review isn't counted in whole-day rates or totals until someone settles it.
Can I change a day the rule already decided?
Yes. Open any whole-day result and click Change whole-day result. It is settled the same way, with your name and note.
What if a teacher changes a mark after I settle the day?
The day rule works the day out again from the new marks. The explanation keeps a line saying who had set it, and that a class mark changed afterwards.
I settled the wrong day. How do I put it back?
Open the day and click Undo beside Set by. The day goes straight back to whatever the day rule works out.
