Add an absence reason

Add an absence reason when the reasons in the list do not fit, such as Sick or Traveling.

Who can do this: Your role needs Edit access to Attendance Tracker.

1. Open the attendance form. See Record attendance for a service.
2. Find a member who is marked absent.
3. In that member’s row, click the reason. It shows Unknown Reasons at first.
4. At the bottom of the list, click Add reason.
5. In the Add New Absence Reason window, type the Reason Name.
6. Click Add new reason.

The new reason is now in the list for all members.

Good to know

• You can choose a reason only for a member who is marked absent.
• You can also add a reason when you fix one member’s attendance. See Check or fix a member’s attendance.
