Overview
The Seating Charts feature allows teachers to create a seating chart for each class section, which includes students' names, students' pictures, desks, other furniture present in the classroom such as tables, the American flag, and more. Once setup, teachers can use the seating chart to take attendance.

Once assigned an attendance code, the student will turn the applicable color.

- Present codes (Green): P Present and PT Excused Tardy
- Tardy codes (Yellow): T Unexcused Tardy
- Absent code (Red): U Unexcused Absence
Click Save to apply attendance codes.
Once attendance has been taken, the message "You have taken attendance today for this period" displays.
