Some absence events explain (supersede) other absence events, with a lower priority.
For instance, an absence event may have been created for a student on an excursion. However, if the student is sick, an All Day Absence is created and this supersedes the original record.
Because you cannot change the mode of most absence events, a second absence event is required if your original information was not correct on the first one. You can then choose to supersede the original record using the Auto Match function. For example, in the following example a Late Sign In event supersedes an Unknown absence event.
In the case of absence slips though, instead of being superseded they can be modified to either an:
...
- Create the absence event. This provides the actual reason for the student's absence from class. Recording an absence event
(on page ).Anchor H_32426 H_32426 - Click either or .
The Auto Match window is displayed.
...
- Check if the listed absence event(s) are explained by the absence event you are submitting.
For example, the Absence Slip entered for Period 1 (8:30am) is explained by the Late Sign In absence event, so the Late Sign In absence event can supersede and replace the 8:30am slip. - Click

The explained absence slip is moved to the Superseded tab of the Create Absence Events window.
