District Child Care programs are now able to record known absences to flag students not to be expected within a Site Section. This will facilitate a faster check-in process on versions 3.1.1 or newer of the Child Care Attendance app.
The Child Care Attendance App is compatible with iOS 9 or higher though the absence feature is only available on devices running iOS 10 or higher.
Absences recorded directly in the Child Care Attendance app may be recorded for the current day and for individual sections. A student marked absent in a current section is flagged as displayed below.
Absences recorded in the Administrative side of Eleyo may be recorded for past, current and future dates. Those absences are reflected in the app when a normal log in and data sync is automatically completed.
Important Note: Recording absences will not affect invoicing for individual dates. The system will continue to include scheduled dates in the invoicing process.
Record Absences on the iPad Child Care Attendance app
Record absences on the Child Care Attendance app by logging into the Site using the Site (or Non-school Day Site) Access Key. From the Attendance, screen swipe left on the student name then select Absent. Indicate the first section they are absent for then select OK. Repeat for any additional sections they need to be marked absent for. Note: You can only mark the radio button for the section one at a time.
Hover over the gif below to see the swipe left process (example Maria Mattaini in the list shown below)
Students marked absent, by individual section, for the current day are displayed on the Absent tab. If there are no students marked Absent, the tab will be hidden. Absences may be undone from individual sections by swiping left on the student's name from this tab.
TIP: Swipe left again to undo an absence.
