Updating an attendance record if you've already populated the seating chart:

You may to edit the attendance either in seating chart view or roster view. By default, students will appear as "present", so you only have to update absences (e.g., arrived late, left early, arrived late/left early, unexcused absence, excused absence). You have two options:

1) Select from the “One Click Mode” drop down list. This allows you to select an attendance status and assign it to students by simply clicking on their picture.

2) If you select the "One Click Mode Off" option, then you must click on each student and select their attendance status from the dropdown menu. This option also allows you to enter notes for each particular student.

**Updating an attendance record if you have not populated the seating chart / do not have assigned seating:**

Once in the attendance screen, you must switch the view by clicking the “Go To: Roster View” button in the top right corner of the page. This will take you from the blank seating chart to the course roster, where you can update the attendance.

1) Select from the “One Click Mode” drop down list. This allows you to select an attendance status and assign it to students by simply clicking the status next to their picture.

2) If you select the "One Click Mode Off" option, then you must click on the student's name or picture and then select their attendance status from the dropdown menu. You may also enter notes for each particular student.
