Things that Should be shown on every screen & every tab
No matter what page or tab we're on, we should be able to see the Student's entire name (middle included), ID number and learning platform (remote or in-person). It should all be right at the top next to the students name.

CAR dates not available when changing or adding classes because ATT was started without classes.
There is a need to have the ability (with warnings) to separate the two functions.

Teacher Attendance - Highlight the Attendance row when selected
In Aeries Gradebook, when you click on a student's name, or hover over the entire row of that student is highlighted/made darker.
Is there any way that that could happen in Attendance? When you hover on a student of when you click on an "Absent", and "N", or even "D", there is no change in the color of that student's row.
I know that for me, it is easier to keep the marks for a particular student specifically for that student if his/her row is highlighted.7 votes -
Weekly Engagement Report - Admin Log
It would be nice if there was a screen where staff could check to see if teachers have run their Weekly Engagement Report like there is a screen to see if they have certified their Instructional Minutes. This wouldn't verify accuracy of the report, but at least office staff could confirm if the teachers had at least run the report and the date/time of the last time it was run.

Bell Schedule - Copy to Multiple Days
It would be helpful in some situations, such as when schools may fluctuate between schedules due to the pandemic, to be able to quickly copy a single bell schedule to multiple days at once instead of having to set the schedule one day at a time. Being able to multi-select days by either control-click, checkbox, or some kind of "copy to all subsequent regular days of same name" (so all following mondays, or tuesdays, etc as the currently selected day) would be great.
Thank you!

Student Attendance Report - Make it a PDF - Currently is Quick Print only
The attendance report that is printed from the Student Attendance page is a Quick Print, and is not easily saved as a PDF. Would like to be able to electronically store and send attendance without having to print and scan. Making this a regular report that can go to PDF as a download option would be great.

I wish that I could click a student's icon on the take attendance screen, then click the back button and return to the SAME class period.
Here is my typical workflow: I'm finished taking attendance for 1st period and I want to check attendance totals for each student who was absent. I click the attendance icon next to their name, review the information, then click the Back button in the browser to return to the class list. However, this returns me to the currently scheduled period and not the period I was just viewing (frequently sixth period after the end of the instructional day). This makes it super painful to go through a list of students and review each ones profile or attendance info. I have…

Missing Attendance - Add Different time stamps for Attendance Submission
Our elementary schools are set up with AM and PM sessions. Each teacher has two teacher records, one for AM and one for PM. When taking attendance, both sessions are time-stamped with the same AM time-stamp. For security issues, our office staff needs to know when the teacher has taken attendance for the PM session.

Improve Functionality of Teacher Attendance Mass Apply
Here are three changes that would improve the usability of the new Mass Apply feature for attendance:
1) Having the menu hidden by default is a nuisance for a teacher who has to use it 7 times a day. There should be an option to have the filter open by default. Perhaps a checkbox?
2) The filter should remember the last setting used. For example if a teacher is filtering for a specific cohort that corresponds with a day the week, they would only have to set the filter up once at the start of the day instead of 7…5 votes -

Set "Mass Apply Attendance" Default Filters
Now that teachers can set filters for mass applying attendance codes and notes, they would like to set their own default filters that way they don't have to reapply the filter every morning.

Attendance Notes - Allow Uploading Documents
We have the ability to add notes to attendance, it would be helpful to add an upload feature for Dr notes and such. We are currently having our parents email us pictures of documents instead of handling paper. The system is working well with our parents, it would be great if we could then attach the picture directly to the Notes in attendance.

Allow for Block Schedule Periods to be offered on separate Calendar days
Allow for a blocked period to be offered on different days when the option in Portal Options are set to "Take Attendance for Each Period in a Blocked Section".
For example, Period 4 has a 2 period block. Period 4 is offered on Monday. Period 5 is offered on Tuesday. Currently, when set up this way, the drop-down for Period 5 will show as a blank in the period dropdown for teacher attendance when it's not being offered that day. Only display the period offered according to the Calendar.

Attendance Enrollment Page - Do not prompt to delete attendance during a 440 program change entry
In the Attendance Enrollment, if a user enters an "L" (leave) record using the "440 - program change" reason Aeries may prompt about "student has attendance after this date."
Since this is simply a program change entry and NOT really a withdrawal action, there is no reason to remove the ATT records. The user is expected (required) to follow a 440 entry with an "E" (enter) record for the subsequent day [or they get the error/warning "Student does not have an Attendance Enter after a 440 Leave on [date]"
We have had users click Yes to the prompt more than…

Mass Change ATT Codes/Mass Change All Day Codes
Now that there's an option to auto-populate the all-day code based on period codes, the mass change programs need an option to not skip ATT records for which an all-day code already exists. This is critical when the all-day code is auto-populated to A, then can't be changed to U after the period absences have all been to U.
