Allow 2 character absence codes
With all of the new absence codes we had to add for Distance Learning and now the ones we have to add for COVID related absences for P-EBT, we have run out of letters and have used almost half of the numbers and really need 2 character absence codes to be allowed in the system.

The scope of work required to allow 2-digit attendance codes, and manage the effects throughout the attendance feature will only be able to be accomplished as part of a future modernization effort for the Attendance feature.

With new codes for ELOP and AR we are out of codes. Could they at least change the datatype to nvarchar to allow for Special Characters and specify which ones would work (@, $, & ????). I am not sure of the programming implications from this change.
