Incident Action Attendance

On this page:

Incident Action Attendance provides you with the ability to quickly enter attendance for the students involved in an incident using the Quick Incident or the Detailed Incident pages. Attendance is based on your school's default attendance mode (daily, meeting/interval, and clock-in/clock out). Attendance can be entered for the entirety of the action date range or individually by day/meeting. Incident Action Attendance is enabled on a per school/per year basis. When enabled, you can restrict the available attendance codes to a predefined list if controlling access to different attendance codes based on the action used in the incident. Once enabled, action codes must then be assigned action/attendance code mappings. Settings are carried forward from year-to-year when the next year's term is created.

To enter incident action attendance, the preference must be enabled, the participant must be a student who is enrolled in the school the admin is signed into (not a remote enrollment), the action must have a start and end date.

If an action code has subcodes, you can enter attendance codes for each of those subcodes independently from one another based on your school's needs. Mappings are on a per school and per year basis. Mappings roll over year-to-year when you create a new term. As with attendance codes, you can use Batch School Setup to create mappings at one school and copy them to other schools.
