| The
attendance chart allows you to record attendance data for a single
term. |
| To
use the attendance chart: |
|
•
|
Attendance
and calendar options must be set before using the attendance chart.
Color options may also be set for your attendance categories. Refer
to Setting Options for help with this. |

|
Each
column of the chart represents a single date in the calendar for the
class. Column numbers indicate the day numbers into the term. No-school
days are grayed and cannot be selected. |
|
•
|
To
filter the dates displayed in the chart, use the menu to the left
of the first column number. You can choose between showing all days,
the current day, current week, current month or a selected range of
dates. If the current day, week or month is selected, the actual dates
will automatically change at the right times. |
|
•
|
To
quickly hide all dates but one, click on the date. When only one date
is visible, use the horizontal scroll bar to scroll through all dates
while keeping only a single date visible at a time. To return to the
normal view, click the date again. |
|
•
|
To
resize the space for the date titles, press and drag the thick, horizontal
line below the titles up or down. |
|
•
|
Be
sure to display the attendance codes on the tool bar or tool palette.
This lets you know what marks can be typed and allows you to enter
marks by clicking. To display these codes, press on the small triangle
to the left of the class menu (circled below). |

the text field with the actual date. |
