View a Daily Absence alert

Aspen generates a Daily Absence alert icon Daily Absence Alert icon. to indicate that a student was marked absent for all or part of a day. The alert appears in the breadcrumbs on student pages, on student pages that have an Alerts column in the field set, and in the gradebook (if allowed by System Administration preferences and a teacher’s gradebook preferences).

The Daily Absence Alert section shows the student’s name, the date, and the attendance code entered when daily attendance was taken.
