Custom Settings: Attendance Scheduled Value

Attendance Scheduled Value

This setting controls the part of the Course Enrollment Flow delivered with RollCall that will automatically create attendance records and set the Attendance Status when a student enrolls in a course. 

Impacts:

Attendance record Status field when new Attendance records are created IF AND ONLY IF (1) you are using the Flows delivered with RollCall AND (2) the setting Enrollment Create Attendance is “On.”

Default Value:

Scheduled

Default Behavior: 

All student Attendance records’ Status field will be set to Scheduled when the Course Enrollment record indicates a student is Enrolled or when the course schedule changes.

Behavior when setting is changed

Identical to Default Behavior but Status field will be set to your picklist value (whatever is in the Value of the setting) instead of the default one.

Example:

Your organization may use the term “Expected To Attend” instead of “Scheduled” to indicate that a student should show up whenever this session is conducted. You would change the Attendance picklist value to reflect your local changes and change the value in this custom setting.

To use this setting, you would:

  1. Decide which Attendance Status picklist value means that a student will no longer be expected to show up in class, if it differs from the default of “Scheduled

  2. Find the field Status on the Attendance object and add your custom wording or overwrite the Scheduled value with your custom wording.

  3. Update the “Value” field for this custom metadata record with the exact value of your picklist item from the Status field on the Attendance object.
