If you have recently migrated to Arbor and have paper registers that you need to input the marks for, you can add these marks in bulk to update your records more quickly.
Permissions
You will need the Student Profile: Action: Attendance: Administer All Students permission. If you don't have permission, you'll need to ask your admin team to give you permission using these instructions.
Adding marks in bulk
To add marks in bulk, go to one of the following pages:
- Students > Attendance > Registers > Bulk Edit Marks Standard
- Students > Attendance > Registers > Bulk Edit Marks Advanced (this option has the same functionality as the Standard page, but also allows you to input information on Interventions and Internal Exclusions)
On either page, you can click the filters at the top of the page and select a student group and date range to input marks for.
Once you have selected your student group and date range and clicked Save Changes, the table will populate with the student's names and their timetable slots. When marks are inputted, they will appear in this table. Tick the boxes next to the student's names, click Bulk Action, and then Bulk Set Present/Late/Absent.
When you add the marks in bulk, you will see a pop-up window with several tick boxes for each roll call period that this change will affect and also which periods will be changed as well. These boxes are ticked by default so that you can quickly make the necessary changes, but if you want any roll call or period to not be updated for any reason, you can just untick it and click Bulk Set Marks.
Once this has been done, the table will populate with the student's given marks.
Please note that this process can take a few moments, and it is possible that you may see an error message if you change too many marks at once. For this reason, it is recommended that this is done per class/registration form.
