Settings for attendance are found in two locations in Music Monitor.

General Settings

Most settings for attendance are located in General Settings.

  • Go to the Settings wheel > General Settings > Attendance 

  • Activate Attendance Module turns the attendance module features on and off. 
  • Track Ensembles in Attendance Module determines whether ensembles are included on the Tuition Attendance Rolls. This allows for staff loads and pay to be calculated for ensembles.
    • Set up of Ensemble Rolls for tracking student attendance of ensembles is separate.
  • Attendance Roll Layout provides the option to include or exclude day and time fields from the attendance rolls. Calendar View includes this information, and is the standard setting. 
  • Automatic Archive Delay for Attendance Records sets a timeout after which rolls cannot be edited. This prevents teachers for editing rolls (including attendance marks) well after the time of the lesson has passed. 
    • We recommend this be kept short, around 14 days, so that any late roll marking has to be brought to the attention of admin. 

There are also settings for how teachers interact with attendance.

  • General Settings > Teacher Settings.

  • The Teacher Home Screen checkboxes control whether teachers can access Roll-Marking and Ensemble Rolls.
  • Roll-Marking section contains options for teachers to 'Mark All', add extra ensemble sessions, require a teacher signature on rolls, and to enable the Feedback Module.

Settings in Roll-Marking Layout

There are more options you can find when viewing an attendance roll

  • Office Admin > Roll-Marking Tuition > Mark Rolls > Settings wheel

  • Reconciliation Period selects whether the term or year lesson tally is presented to teachers, as well as which column receives highlighting on the administration attendance roll.
  • The Printing Preferences section provides options for the printout produced by Print (the printer icon).
  • The Extra Lessons section provides a button to open and  customise the Extra Lessons Email template. 

Attendance Codes

The other setup you need to do before you can use roll marking is to Set Up Attendance Codes.
