Mark attendance for each period

Turn on period-wise attendance and let subject teachers mark who is in class in each period.

Attendance · How to · Last checked 2026-10-19

Period-wise attendance is for institutions where each subject teacher marks who is in class. It needs a published timetable and a setting that is switched on.

Switch it on

Only a person who may change settings can do this.

  1. Open Institute > Settings and find the Attendance card.
  2. In Attendance mode choose Daily and every period. The class teacher still takes the daily register. Subject teachers also take each period.
  3. Press Save.

If the mode is Daily only, the page Attendance > Period-wise attendance says that period attendance is switched off. If you may change settings it shows a button Open Institute settings. If not, ask your administrator.
