Attendance Tracking Meeting Rule

Use this section of the page to enter or display tracking and Self-Service data for the section meeting record selected in the Section Meetings information. The records in the Attendance Tracking Meeting Rule section of the page are child records of the master records in the Section Meetings information.

The Display Class and Tracking Unit fields are required for attendance tracking. The Track Class Attendance, Tracking Start Date, and Tracking End Date fields are used to determine whether the faculty member has view only access or can enter data and for what date range.

When a rule exists in SOAATMT for the CRN and meeting combination, it applies to the student and the faculty member. When a rule does not exist in SOAATMT for the CRN and meeting combination, then the rules in SOAATRK are evaluated for the student and faculty member. When no applicable rule exists in either SOAATMT or SOAATRK, the CRN and meeting are not displayed. Classes are only displayed for rules that are set up by term, to limit the number of terms displayed to the students.

Fields	Description
Display Class	Check box used to indicate whether attendance tracking is active for the CRN and term combination in the key block. Default is checked or Y.
Tracking Unit	Code of the unit (method) used to record attendance for the rule. Valid values are: Present/Absent, Hours Present, Hours Absent. These are saved to the database as 001, 002, and 003 respectively.
Track Class Attendance	Check box used to indicate whether attendance recording is available for the meeting in Self-Service. Default is checked or Y. When this indicator is unchecked, the records are not displayed in Self-Service. This field serves as a master control for quickly turning Self-Service access on or off.
Tracking Start Date	Date when attendance recording begins in Self-Service for the meeting. This date should be equal to or later than the meeting start date. Attendance can only be recorded for meetings that have already occurred. These date settings allow the display of a CRN in the Banner Faculty and Advisor Self-Service pages for this date range, but data entry is not permitted until the first meeting has occurred.
Tracking End Date	Date when attendance recording ends in Self-Service for the meeting. Attendance can only be recorded for meetings that have already occurred. These date settings allow the display of a CRN in the Banner Faculty and Advisor Self-Service pages for this date range, but data entry is not permitted until the first meeting has occurred.
