Enable flexible attendance codes
What they want is:
Present – late (P-L)
Present – left early (P-LE)
Present – late and left early (P-LLE)
Includes running through the reports
We'll just enable the flexible attendance system written for Rising for them.

Whiteboard
FBD: Instead of doing this can we activate the whole flexible attendance module here (once / twice a day, timestamp, attendance scoring options) and then they can change the codes if they want to
Douglas: Fran, currently there's a 'Present but late and / or left early' attendance code in the ISLI score system. Should we map these existing scores to the new 'Present – late and left early (P-LLE)' you request in the description of the blueprint?
Douglas: BTW, for this I'm considering converting the current hardcoded attendance score systems into preference score systems and adjust every existing score accordingly.
FBD: Good question... Yes, map it to present late and left early and then I set up the new attendance codes across the instance. So in effect I guess we are still hardcoding for the ISLI instance, but have the possibility going forwards (or for next year) for them to set up different systems if they want to (or add to with other absence codes)... Does that make sense?
Douglas: Yes, it does.
Estimate: 4 hours.
Fran: This has been changed for students but not for teachers, could you revise for teachers as well please? Thanks!
Douglas: Oh, I thought this would only apply to students. Will teachers use the same codes exactly?
Fran: yes they will, thanks!
