Use the ‘Attendance Periods’ tab to nominate the start and end periods for each attendance period within your school calendar. The attendance periods would normally correspond to either the school terms or semesters. Generally, you would exclude school holidays such as term and semester breaks.

Fields that require further explanation | |
|---|---|
* Year * Period | These are mandatory fields. Enter a calendar year and attendance period, e.g. 2016, 1. |
* Semester/Term This field name is customisable. | This is a mandatory field. The description of this field has been determined by your school as set up using Student Admin > Student Records > Setup Information > Student Records Setup. The ‘Semester’ field title is school-definable (therefore, it may not necessarily be 'Semester'). For example, your school may be term-based (as opposed to semester-based); accordingly, this screen may display a description of 'Term'. The setup for this is done in TASS.web Student Admin > Student Records > Setup Information > Student Records Setup. |
* Description | This is a mandatory field. Example: Semester 1 - 2016. |
* Start Date * End Date | These are mandatory fields. To define this attendance period. You can have one period per term or semester or any combination that suits your school. Important! It is important that the end date of one period does not overlap the start date of a subsequent period. |
The next tab you should complete during your initial setup is 'Absentee Types' tab.
