Managing Session Absences in Bulk from the Attendance screen

Navigate to Attendance in the menu, and select Attendance/Bookings from the drop down options. 

Here you can select your centre (if applicable), and BULK ACTIONS.

Here you can select the Date Range that you want to mark the sessions absent for:
 

Select the Child or Children you are wanting to mark as absent:

And the Reason for Absence you are wanting to apply to the absent sessions:

You can also filter to search children by Class if needed. (This is handy for OSHC services when all children from a certain class are on camp!)

Changing Fees

Once you have selected the Date Range, Children and Reason for Absence, you will see a section to Change Fee appear. Here you can select the fee you would like to apply to the absences if this is different to the child/ren's standard contracted fees, for example, a Holiday fee.

To change the fee, select Edit.

You will then be presented with a box that details the dates you are applying the absences for, the number of selected children, and the class the child/ren are currently in. You can then drop down on the Fee, and change the fee to the fee you are wanting to apply to the absences.

You will then need to Save the fee change.

Saving Absences

Once you are happy with everything you have selected, you will need to select Mark Absent to save the absences.

You will then need to confirm the bulk absences by selecting Yes, Mark Absent.

You will then be presented with a message confirming the absence has been applied to the number of sessions selected.
