Editing absences

The class teacher can display a list of all the absences of students in his/her class via menu item <Class register> | <Absences>. This can be customised using various filters and the individual absences can be edited with a click on the <Edit> button.

Combine

You can use the <Combine> button to merge two or more absences of the same student to form a single absence. All absences in the selected area will be combined if this is possible. If the student was marked absent in the first, second and fourth periods but his/absence was not checked in the third period, these absences will be combined to form a single absence. Absences with different reasons or different Status are not combined.

Excuses

Use the <Excuse> button to excuse several absences in one operation.

Status

The status of an excuse can have various states such as open, excused etc. The class teacher can thus excuse absences. The different statuses are defined by your WebUntis administrator.

If you wish to change the status, either click on the entry in the 'Status' column (a question mark in the case of open absences) or on the <Excuse> button.

You can also enter a reason of absence in this dialogue.

Excuse letters

WebUntis can print letters of excuse forms for your students' times of absence. For this, select <Reports> | <Letter of excuse>.

The letters of excuse forms can be handed out to your students, completed, signed and collected.

Class filter

Under 'Absences' there is the option Activate class filter . This function will be described in the following examples:

Student Zimmermann was in class 1a until 15 march, then she attended class 1b. Absences of the student which were in the time when she was still in her original class are shown by default also in the new class.

If you check the option Activate class filter , such absences are not shown.
