Allow parental acknowledgement of absences using Parent Lounge | Tick this box to allow parents to acknowledge absence records in Parent Lounge. To be eligible for acknowledgement in Parent Lounge, absence records must contain an 'Absentee Type' that has been set up with 'Acknowledge in Parent Lounge' and 'View in Parent Lounge' set to 'Yes' in TASS.web program Student Admin > Attendance > Setup Information > Attendance Setup on the 'Absentee Types' tab. |
Time delay prior to allowing parental acknowledgement (minutes) | Specify the time delay in minutes between when an absence record is entered by a teacher or administrator and when it is displayed and available to parents for acknowledgement.
