Custom Settings: Attend Query - Where Condition Boolean

Attend Query - Where Condition Boolean

This setting allows you to control whether Attendance records are displayed or not on the Take Attendance screen. 

Impacts:

Take Attendance Page Display

Default Value:

empty 

Default Behavior without a setting: 

Exclude the record when the Attendance record’s Status is “Dropped Out” (or your local equivalent).

Behavior when setting is changed: 

Include only Attendance records where whatever field is in the setting Value returns True

Example:

For example, you may decide that you do want to see, on each Take Attendance screen, the students who have dropped the class.

To use this setting, you would:

1. Decide which Attendance records you want to see.

2. On the Attendance object, construct a formula field that returns “True” or “False” (a boolean/checkbox field) when your unique conditions are met. For example, if you wanted to always show every Attendance record regardless of status, you would simply create a formula that always returns True.

3. Put the field’s API name into the “Value” field for this custom metadata record and save. This is the field you created in step 2.
