Attendance Reporting for 4.38
The Attendance Reporting module has been added for 4.38.
The new AttendanceReporting licence unlocks the following functionality:
The Attendance Reporting screen has been added.
The following institution settings have been added to this screen.
| This field | Holds this information... |
|---|---|
| Allow Self-Attendance | Whether to enable learners to mark themselves as present for register events. |
| Pre-event generation allowance (minutes) | How early a tutor can generate a PIN before the register event starts. |
| PIN acceptance timeframe (minutes) |
The time in minutes that a PIN is accepted so that a learner is marked as present, rather than late. Important.This defaults to 15 minutes.
|
| Percentage of learners to validate | The percentage of learners to validate as present in the register event. For example: if this is set to 10 (that is: 10%), for a class of 100 learners, when the tutor selects verify learners, the system randomly selects 10% of learners who self-attended. If 90 learners self-attended out of a class of 100, the system will select nine learners for the tutor to confirm attendance. |
| Validate empty marks | Whether to notify the tutor if there is no mark recorded against any learners. |
| Self-Attendance present mark | The register mark to use if a self-attending learner is present. |
| Self-Attendance late mark | The register mark to use if a self-attending learner is late. |
