Validate Backfill

Use the Validate Backfill function to ensure that backfill attendance has been correctly applied based on your attendance backfill preferences. Performing the Validate Backfill function runs all three tasks of clearing backfill, regenerating attendance aggregation, and running backfill in succession for all students in the selected school.

Note: If Realtime Backfill is enabled, only exception students are recalculated. If Realtime Backfill is not enabled or has not been used during the backfill period, Validate Backfill calculates backfill for each student who has enrolled in the continuation education program during the backfill period.

Note: it is not necessary to make a student selection when performing this procedure.

1. On the start page, search for and select a group of students. 
2. Click the [Select Function] arrow.
3. Under Attendance, choose Backfill Management. 
   Note: Alternatively, if you have a current selection of students, you can choose Special Functions under Functions in the main menu and then click Groups Functions.
4. Click Validate Backfill. 
5. Select the checkbox to verify the command.
6. Click Submit.
