Present attendance type is used for students that scan or enter their code before the late time period has been reached. If the late time period is not set this will be used until the class is closed.
Once the class is closed, anyone without an attendance recorded against them will be marked with the chosen Absent attendance type.
The configuration allows for a time period to be set after which a Late attendance type can be added for any students that scan after that time. To do this tick Use late attendance in the configuration view, next choose an attendance type you would like the late students to have applied. Finally enter after how many minutes a student should be considered late.
Ticking the Allow manual client code entry checkbox enables the ability for students to type in their client code. This option is available for students that may not have access to their QR codes on the day but still need to be marked.
Click Finish (or Next through to Finish for the wizard).
