Day Attendance Generation - PosiEd
A batch process must be scheduled to execute each evening to generate Day attendance records for each current student each school day. This generation process checks the Base Calendar in the schools Default Timetable Structure and finds entries related to the students' Current Grade Level. If one is found and that date is marked as a school day then a Day Attendance record is generated.
When a new Day attendance record is generated for the student it is recorded in the student Account records Current Day Attendance field so that it can be easily accessed by other functions.
Generally, the attendance status of these Day Attendance records will be set to a default value of Unmarked.
Follow these steps to schedule the Day Attendance Batch Generation.
After the batch runs, it will create Day Attendance records for each student.
The Day Attendance record will be linked to the Current Day Attendance field which is currently located under the Person Account record.
