As per the school's need, we have created a few Registration Presence Codes. These Registration Present Codes needs to be available on Day view, week view, list view of registration manager for Bulk as well as individual record edit. These are available in period view already but it's not solving the purpose.
We can't comply with DFE attendance regulations properly until Present Codes are visible in Day View, Week View etc from a day to day attendance management point of view and knowing where a pupil is in the school day e.g. only a "/" or "\" is displayed - it doesn't show that the pupil was not in the lesson or House registration (AM/PM) but elsewhere on site e.g. Learning Support or ill in medical centre etc.
As Poonam says the info in available in Period View but this is not used by our Office staff as it doesn't quickly give you a view of the attendance record of a group of pupils for a day or week. I understand that the reports would correctly show that the pupil was present in school but if we were looking for a pupil you would assume that they were present in the lesson and not that they were somewhere else on site.
This means we will have to use Absence Codes to manage these types of absence which would require explanation if/when we are inspected (and makes me feel uneasy about not being able to comply with the regulations).
