Issue

A Teacher was able to override a Verified Absence when taking attendance in the Teacher Portal


Environment

Teacher Portal Attendance


Cause - multiple

  1. Check that the Absence Code that was overridden is defined on the Update Code Table (ABS) as a Verified Absence
  2. Check that the Portal Options  > Other Attendance Options > Only Allow Teachers to Override Attendance Codes Listed option does not include the Absence Code that was overridden
  3. Check that the Portal Options  > Other Attendance Options > Allow teachers to override verified absences option is not enabled


Resolution - match to the number above

  1. If the Absence Code that was overridden is not defined as a Verified Absence in ABS, correct the Absence Code settings
  2. If the Absence Code that was overridden is listed in the Portal Options > Attendance Codes AND the Portal Options  > Other Attendance Options > Only Allow Teachers to Override Attendance Codes Listed option is enabled, either disable this option or remove the Verified Absence code from the list of codes that teachers can override
  3. If the Portal Options  > Other Attendance Options > Allow teachers to override verified absences option is enabled, teachers will be able to override all Absence Codes. Please disable this option if it should not be enabled
