Absence Submissions - PosiEd

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 Submissions 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. Make sure that the Absence Reason you select is one from the Attendance Rules list applicable to this school.

In order for a user to be able to submit an Absence Submission, it is important to ensure that the user currently holds an Employee Role and that the Primary is set to True.
