Description

A teacher can add a Possible Description for an absent student on the Attendance window. This is made available to the Attendance Officer on the Modify Absence Event window. In the following example, the teacher has indicated that they think the student is in Fiji on holiday and is shown below the Comment field.

 

Setting a different value
Clear the Value field on the Configuration File Maintenance window to set the value to False. See Maintaining configuration files.

The Possible Description field (column) is no longer displayed on the Attendance window.
