Mark and track student attendance

From your dashboard menu, go to Academics → Classes and click the class you want to mark attendance for. Each class is a small hub with four tabs at the top: Overview, Students, Academics, and Attendance. Click the Attendance tab.

By default, Edunile picks today. If you're marking attendance for an earlier day (e.g. you forgot yesterday), click the date and pick the right one from the calendar. You can't mark attendance for future dates.

Click Mark All Present at the top. Every student in the class is now marked Present. This is the fastest way — most days, most students are there.

Then, go through the list and change the few who aren't:

• Absent — for students who didn't come at all.
• Late — for students who arrived after the cutoff time (your school decides what counts as late).

You don't need to type anything; one click on the status next to each name is enough.

When you're done, click Save Attendance at the bottom of the page. You'll see a confirmation that today's attendance is locked in.

If you realise after saving that you got someone's status wrong, you can come back to the same date and edit it — Edunile keeps the most recent version. The change is also logged so the head of academics knows who edited it and when.

On the same Attendance tab, click Weekly View or Term View to see the bigger picture. You'll see a grid: students down the side, dates across the top, and a quick colour for each (green for Present, red for Absent, yellow for Late).

Use this view to spot patterns — a student who's been absent three or four times in a row deserves a phone call to the parent. From the same view, you can click a student's name to see their full attendance history.
