Typically schools will use one of two methods of determining which sessions will require roll marking; from the Cohort or through the Bell Time object as follows. From the
Cohort - The class itself will define this e.g. academic classes require this but extracurricular do not. This is further supported by a variety of defaulting Mark Roll fields on the Subject and Subject Groups respectively. By setting a Subject’s mark roll to Required, all associated Subject Groups will in turn have their mark roll value set to Required, which will in turn set all associated Cohort Mark Roll values to Required.
If the school’s Mark Roll Defaults value is then set to Cohort, then when Generate Calendar is executed, all Sessions created for those cohorts will have the Mark Roll Status set to Required. Otherwise they will be set to Optional.
...
Bell Time - The Bell Time record of each session will define the Session’s Mark Roll Status. This is useful in situations where you might only mark the roll in Period 1.
To accomplish this, review the Bell Time object and find the Period 1 records for each day of the week and set their Mark Roll value to Required.
When the Generate Calendar or Publish Daily Data is executed, each session will be evaluated to see if they are associated with a period that requires Mark Roll Status to be set to Required; if so it will do so. Otherwise it will be left as Optional.
None - The final option is to set the Mark Roll Default to None, which means neither of the above processes will execute when Sessions are created. Instead, all Sessions will be created with a Mark Roll status of Optional and you can employ your own custom automations to modify these values as required.
