Marking a Child as Absent, Off Sick or On Holiday

To record a child's absence (whether the child is Absent, Sick, or on Holiday):

  • Head to the Overview by clicking on the Home icon in your sidebar

  • Select the child you're adding an absence for

  • Choose Sick, Holiday, or Absent from the box on the right

  • Once you click on an absence option, you can input the period this applies to and any notes to explain the circumstances

  • You will see the relevant icon appear on their profile photo, as well as on their activity feed

    • In the image below, we can see that Ben is absent, Daisy is off sick, and Daniel is on holiday:

๐Ÿ’ก It's not possible to enter a partial or half day of absence, holiday, or sickness for a child. If you'd like to reflect a partial absence in a child's booking plan, you will need to schedule a change for the day and amend their booking to correspond to their attended hours


Recording a Child's Absence from their Profile

You can also record a child as being absent via their profile. To do this:

  • Head to the absent child's profile

  • Click on the Activity tab

  • Click on an absence option from underneath their profile picture


Removing an Incorrectly Recorded Absence

If you have accidentally or incorrectly reported a child as absent or on holiday, you can follow the instructions below to correct this.

๐Ÿ’ก If you accidentally change a child's status to sick or on holiday, the child will automatically be signed out of the setting. As well as following the steps above to remove the status, you will need to ensure the child is signed back in
