Attendance Tracking

The Attendance page is where you record which students came to their lessons. It shows one day at a time.

When you can mark attendance

Attendance is a record of what happened, so it opens at the lesson start time. The page lists only the lessons that have started. A lesson later today shows after its start time. Cancelled lessons are not listed. The page shows up to 50 lessons for a day.

Choosing the day

Use the two arrow buttons to go one day back or forward. The date between them is the day you see. Today shows when you are on another day.

You cannot go past today. On this page you can go back at most 14 days, so you can correct recent records.

Teacher filter

Owners, admins and staff see a teacher list in the header, with All Teachers as the default. Choose a teacher to see only their lessons. A teacher sees only their own lessons, so the list is hidden for them.

Marking a status

The Bulk Attendance table has a row for each lesson, with Student, Time and Type (plus Teacher for owners, admins and staff). Type always reads "Lesson". On a phone each lesson is a card with the same details. Rows are in two groups: Needs attendance (no status saved yet) and Marked.

The Status control has four options:

• Present
• Late
• Absent - excused
• Absent - no-show

A row with no saved status shows a faded "Present". It is only a suggestion: Trio saves a status after you choose it (or click Mark All Present) and then click Save All.

Marking the whole day

• Mark All Present sets every row to Present, the Marked rows too. Then change the rows that differ.
• Save All saves every row that has a status and skips the rest. If no row has a status, Trio shows "Select at least one attendance status."

After the save, a message shows how many records Trio saved. Any status, an absence too, marks the lesson as completed. Saved records show on the student's profile and the lesson page, and in the attendance figures in Reports.

Attendance from the lesson page

You can also mark attendance on the lesson page. The attendance control there shows after the lesson start time. When you first type a note, or click Finish lesson, an unmarked student is marked Present. This happens once and never before the lesson starts. To record Late or an absence, choose it in the control. The two pages share the same record. See Writing lesson notes.
