Before you mark an absentee, be sure you have defined absentee categories for your centre as per the help article already linked above. Please see the section: Defining an absentee category

How to mark an absentee via the Notebook App:

1. Log in to the Notebook app as a 'Staff' member, and on your home screen, click on 'Mark Absentee'.

2. Enter the 4-digit Staff PIN number assigned to you.

3. Search for the student you wish to mark as absent and select an 'absentee reason' from the drop-down box.

4. If the record was updated successfully, a pop-up confirming the same will appear.

5. When a student is marked as absent, a 'red no entry circle' icon will appear next to their name. This information will be displayed in the web portal as well as in the mobile apps.
