Ambiguous message when superseding has been replaced with a simpler message.

Details have been added to two topics, describing a changed dialog window and its implications.

When adding an absence event and there is another absence event with an equal or higher Supersede Priority Sequence an ambiguous message used to be displayed.

A simpler message is now displayed.

It is up to you to determine which absence event should be superseded.

Default Absence Type Code.

You can assign a default Absence Type Code to an absence event type (mode) rather than it being left unexplained.

For example, you can implement a bus late sign in or exam leave sign out scanner.

When in auto submit mode do not display a prompt stating there is another absence event for the day.

Multiple transactions can be recorded for the same student, if you have unattended sign in and sign out functions operating. This occurs if the student:

• swipes their student card under the barcode scanner several times
• uses the other barcode scanners indiscriminately.

A new topic has been written providing information on identifying and deleting absence events created in error.

Resolving absence events explained by multiple auto submits

Display the File Type, Year and Term (based on the Absence Event Date) above the timetable grid in any absence event.

Tab order has been corrected.

The sequence of fields when using the Tab key has been updated on the Create/Modify Absence Events window.

Deleting an absence event creates a slip for each linked nonattendance.

If you delete an incorrectly-entered absence event, slips are created for any linked nonattendance records. For example, Anna Barmon has an all day absence event, along with a nonattendance, which needs correcting.

When you delete the all day absence event, Synergetic creates an absence slip for the nonattendance.

Resolving absence events with linked nonattendances

Add ad hoc students to attendance listings.

When using the Attendance window you can now add or delete students from the class.

You can now add any current students when marking class attendance, if the AddAnyStudentFlag configuration setting is set to True. Normally, only students who had left the class can be added back.

You can show the delete button and delete records from a class, if the Attendances:ShowDeleteButtonFlag configuration setting is set to True.
