Custom Settings: Attendance Autoname

Attendance Autoname

This setting controls the part of the Attendance Flow delivered with RollCall that will automatically name (or rename) the Attendance record.

Impacts:

 Behavior when new Attendance records are created

Default Value:

On 

Default Behavior: 

If you are using the Flows delivered with RollCall, the Attendance record will be named with the pattern of Student First Name Student Last Name Session Name (e.g. “Joe Smith Math 101 3/11/2023”).

Behavior when setting is changed: 

When the Value of this setting is Off, empty or anything other than On, newly created Attendance records will not get autonamed by the RC Flows.

Example:

You may prefer to have a different naming convention for ease of use in reports or list views. You would need to turn the autonaming from RollCall off and build your own Flow to perform your own customized autonaming.

To use this setting, you would:

  1. Decide if you need a different autoname pattern for Attendance records and, if so, build and test your own local Flow to handle your unique situation.

  2. Update the “Value” field for this custom metadata record with: Off
