Code

Unique code used to identify the absence period.

Additional codes are set up for backwards compatibility of reporting for some organisations who have reports based on:

• morning
• afternoon
• all day.

Description

Description as it appears on the Create Absence Event window, when entering an absence slip and selecting the Period from the drop-down list.

Synergy-
Meaning

Used by Synergetic to determine which period of the day applies for backwards compatibility of reporting for organisations who have reports based on:

• morning
• afternoon
• all day.

When entering the time on the Create Absence Event window, Synergetic automatically populates the Part of Day field based on the mode and the start time of the absence event when a user submits the absence event. The following example shows an afternoon Part of Day value for an absence event with a time after 12 noon.

See Individual student absence events in the Attendance and absence events manual.

SortSeq

Order that the periods are displayed on the Period drop-down list.

The higher the number the later in the list that the entry appears. In the following example, the morning, afternoon and all day entries have been assigned the lowest priorities.

The morning, afternoon and all day entries appear first before the periods.

OverrideTime

Override the time set on the Create Absence Event window, when entering an absence slip and selecting the Period from the drop-down down list. This saves you having to type the Time directly, if the start time of the period does not come from the student's timetable.

In the following example, 9:00am has been set as the start time for period 1, 10:00am for period 2 and 11:00am for period 3.

PeriodNumber

Corresponding period number for the code entered.

In most instances, the period number corresponds to the code.

The period is set to zero (0) for any additional codes, such as morning, afternoon and all day settings.

ActiveFlag

Period or additional codes are active when this field is selected.

Clear the field to set the period or additional codes to inactive.

ModifiedDate

Date and time the lookup table entry was last modified.
