To help you when you’re entering absences in your Jackrabbit database (not the Staff Portal), we moved the Absence Date out of each row in the student grid and placed it above the grid.

We also made the system smarter to provide warnings when an absence date may be wrong. For example, a warning is produced if a day of the week the class doesn’t meet or a date that is before the class start date is entered. If you are alerted when you intentionally entered the information in question, you can keep your entry.

This will improve your data entry accuracy.

We also improved the Drop from Class screen by adding the student name.
