In attendance show preselected status as absent

App Settings › Academic Settings › Attendance › Attendance Taking · Updated 2026-08-05

This toggle changes the default status Classter shows for every Student when a Teacher opens the Subject absences form. When enabled, every Student starts out marked as absent; the Teacher then only has to click the Students who are actually present. Applies to the Subject attendance-taking grid (Subjects Attendance) that Teachers use to submit attendance for a session or timetable slot.
