Description
The BeforeClassStartsMinutes configuration setting is used to allow attendances to be marked within a set period before a class is scheduled to begin if the AllowFutureEntry configuration setting is set to false. See AllowFutureEntry configuration setting.
For example, if the first class starts at 8:30am and the AllowFutureEntry configuration setting is set to false, this setting can be used to allow teachers to mark attendance at 8:27am.
 

Default value
The default value is 20. Classes can be marked twenty minutes before they are scheduled to start.
