About

The Program Attendance Add-On enables program staff to take a daily attendance of Individuals participating within the program.

The Program Attendance Add-On utilizes the Individual's calendar events and a program 'Attendance' user interface (UI) page that filters events for the particular program.

When attendance is taken the system copies the Individual's calendar event for the desired date to the list Attendance with present/absence and notes data.
