Can I add new Attendance codes to SIMS?

You can add new Attendance Codes and any new code would need to be linked to a Statutory DfE code.

To do this go to Tools | Attendance Setup |  Codes | Maintain Codes. Click NEW. You will see you can set up a new code and then ‘Link to Reg Mark’

You can report on the new codes.

You can not edit the Description, Statistical or Physical Meanings of any of the statutory codes.

If ticked, the ‘Basic’ tick box enables all staff to see the attendance code. If unticked then only the Attendance Operator and Attendance Manager can see and use those codes.
