HB 410 Attendance View Setup
Administration > Attendance Setup > Setup > Attendance View Setup
Each building needs a minutes-based Attendance View defined to convert the appropriate Attendance Codes into separate Convert to Codes identifying either an Excused or an Unexcused Absence. You apply a building's Attendance View to recorded attendance using the Day Totals Calculation. The calculations provide you with students' absence minutes for the following HB 410 absence thresholds:
- 38 hours in a month with or without an excuse
- 65 hours in a year with or without an excuse
- 42 hours in a month without an excuse
- 72 hours in a year without an excuse
Use the guidelines in the field descriptions below.
| Fields | Description |
|---|---|
| View Type | Use the same code across buildings for the HB 410 View Type. This facilitates running the Day Totals Calculation for multiple buildings at once. |
| MBS Buildings | If applicable, select the buildings in which students may be taking courses for attendance periods that should be included in the attendance totals for students in your building. |
| Criteria Relationship | Select Students Qualify for Each Criteria Fulfilled. |

| Sum into Intervals | Select the Intervals records you defined for each month in the school year. |
| Days | Select the days of the week or cycle days to include in calculations. |

| Periods | Use the drop-down list to select periods where you take attendance, or click Asterisk to select all codes, then remove any that do not apply. |
| Minutes (Min and Max) | Enter a Minimum minutes value of 1. Leave the Maximum value blank. |
| Convert to Code | In the criteria row defining conversion rules for Excused Absences, select the single Attendance Code to which the Day Totals Calculation will convert the codes you picked in the Absences field. This is the code the Attendance Notification Calculation will use for Excused Absences. In the criteria row defining conversion rules for Unexcused Absences, select the single Attendance Code to which the Day Totals Calculation will convert the codes you picked in the Absences field. This is the code the Attendance Notification Calculation will use for Unexcused Absences. Across buildings, use the same converted Excused Absence code. Follow this recommendation for the converted Unexcused Absence code as well. |
