For more information, see Superseding unknown absence events in the Synergetic Attendance and absence events manual.

Example 1 - Superseding events
For example, a student is absent from period 1, 2 and 3 classes, each entered by the three class teachers as absence slips. Later, the student's parent rings the office to let you know that the student is at the dentist and is expected in at 11:30am. You enter this as an Expected In absence event.
Synergetic checks for student absence events which have a lower priority (see below) around the same time as the one entered, and displays these in the Auto Match window. In this case, the three absence slips can be explained (superseded) by the Expected In absence event being entered.

Example 2 - Modifying an existing absence event, instead of superseding
For example, a student is absent from their period one class and the teacher returned a slip to the office recording the absence. The slip is entered into Synergetic with an unknown Absence Type. Later, the student's parent phones to let you know that the student is at the dentist and is expected in at 9:30am. Because you can change the mode of an absence slip to Expected In, it is best to modify the existing one.

Superseding one or more absence events
To supersede one or more absence events:

1. Create the absence event. This provides the actual reason for the student's absence from class. See Recording an absence event AnchorH_32426H_32426 (on page ).
2. Click either or .
   The Auto Match window is displayed.
   
3. 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.
4. Click .
   The explained absence slip is moved to the Superseded tab of the Create Absence Events window.
