[Solved] Day attendance and comment not working

sfalketrinity

Hello,
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the day attendance code and day comment will not populate in the Attendance Administration screen. I have tried for hours to figure out why and I am unsure. I also tried manually entering the attendance under "attendance_day" table in the SQL, however it wouldn't take the state code AT ALL. Any assistance is appreciated... we can't calculate attendance otherwise. I can't replicate this error in the demo either so I am stuck.

Hello sfalketrinity

Daily Attendance is calculated based on the following conditions:

Periods must have a length in minutes (see the School > Periods program for configuration). Otherwise, they will not count for daily attendance.
The day must be green or have some minutes (for partial school days) on the calendar (see the School > Calendars program). Otherwise, the day is not considered as a school day.
There is also the "Minutes in a Full School Day" configuration option (Set to 0 for dynamic Daily Attendance calculation based on total course period minutes.) (see the School > Configuration program).

I able able to get a present code to populate if I added a line to attendance_day with a state value of 1.0. Does my table need reconfigured?
