Mark and Finalize Daily Attendance
Select a class and date, mark each student, save, then finalize the sheet to lock it, or reverse it to unlock and clear it.
For School administrators, Teachers. Updated 2026-08-01.
Overview
Attendance records daily student presence by class and date, with Present, Absent, Late, or Excused statuses plus Mark all shortcuts. Saving stores the sheet as a draft that can still be edited; Finalize locks it so it becomes part of attendance history and reports.
A finalized sheet must be reversed before it can be corrected, which deletes all its records for that class and date and unlocks it.
Before you start
- Students must be actively enrolled in the class for that date
Steps
- Open Attendance > Overview and select Log Attendance
- Select the class and date
- Mark each student, or use Mark all Present or Mark all Absent
- Select Save attendance
- Select Finalize once the sheet is confirmed correct
Common problems
A student is missing from the attendance sheet
Confirm the student is actively enrolled in the selected class for that date.
The sheet cannot be edited
The sheet has already been finalized; select Reverse to unlock it before making changes, which deletes and re-requires all its records.
Finalize is unavailable
Save the attendance sheet first; a sheet with no saved records cannot be finalized.
