You or your staff can mark a child as absent either through the web portal or via the Cheqdin Mobile App. Once a child has been marked as absent in the 'web portal' it will be automatically updated in real-time to both the Cheqdin and Notebook apps. The web portal and apps talk to each other and the information is updated simultaneously.
However, before a child is marked as absent, make sure you define an 'absentee category'.
Defining an Absentee Category:
1. Go to your 'Home' screen.
2. Click 'My Dashboard'.
3. Go to 'Absentee' on the top menu bar of your dashboard.
4. Click on 'Define Absentee Category' from the drop-down list.
Marking a Child as absent:
To mark a child as absent from the web portal:
1. In 'My Dashboard', click on 'Absentee'
2. Select 'Manage Absentees'
3. 'Add Absentee.'
4. Enter the details.
5. Save and Exit.
Once a child is marked as absent, a 'red crossed circle' icon will appear next to the child's name. This information will be displayed in the web portal as well as in the mobile apps.
If a child has been marked as absent in error, you can reverse this by deleting the entry in the web portal. Simply click on the 'Delete' icon 
to remove the record.
