What are Class Attendance roll types?
Class Attendance roll types are specifically designed for taking attendance based on the school timetable. For example, classes, athletic groups, and advisory meetings.
Class Attendance roll types have the following special behaviours:
Class Attendance roll types can only be used from the My Schedule page as they are designed specifically for marking roll off a timetable
Class Attendance roll types have the ability to lock certain roll codes so only staff with access to roll settings can use them
An active pass must be ended before marking a student as present
There is an option to allow staff to end passes during a roll check
The My Schedule page will display the a staff member's timetable based on an integration with the SIS. We recommend that only Class Attendance roll types are used for taking attendance based on timetables.

View Scheduled Passes while taking Roll Call
Teachers need to know when students are scheduled to leave class for pre-approved appointments. To support this, Passes scheduled to begin during a lesson will be visible to teachers while taking roll call.
This feature is available on the Staff Web App, Browser Extension, and iOS App.
Note - Any new class created on SIS will take 24 hrs to reflect on Orah.
