The Absence Submission outlines the specifics and process for a student's absence from school. They are typically created by a Carer via an online school form and can be regarding a past, current, or future absence.
To make use of the Absence Submission feature effectively, it's important to establish a Kiosk Definition for both Internal and External Absence Submission within the Educational Institution.
In creating the Kiosk Definition, make sure to select the right function. Choose “Posied Absence Submission" for Internal Absence Submission, and "Portal Absence Submission" for External Absence Submission.
The available Absence Reasons for submitting absence will be based on the Kiosk Reasons specified in the Kiosk Definition.
