Scheduling Student Absence messages to parents

Menjadwalkan Student Absence messages kepada orang tua

Sekolah dapat mengatur scheduled task yang akan mengirim Student Absence messages pada waktu tertentu setiap hari. Fitur penjadwalan ini hanya tersedia bagi attendance administrator sekolah.

Sekolah kini dapat mengatur jadwal untuk mengirim Student Absence messages pada waktu yang tetap setiap hari. Fungsi ini akan mengirim absence message kepada semua siswa yang ditandai dengan unexplained absence (UA) atau alasan attendance lainnya yang telah ditandai sebagai Explanation Required.

Harap diperhatikan bahwa hanya administrator yang memiliki pengaturan user permission yang sesuai yang dapat mengatur jadwal pengiriman absence messages.

Mengatur user permissions

Anda harus memiliki pengaturan izin Attendance – Read + SMS agar dapat membuat jadwal pengiriman automated absence messages.

Catatan: Jika Anda adalah administrator Prestia yang ditugaskan ke Default Admin Group user group, Anda dapat mengatur jadwal pengiriman absence messages tanpa memerlukan pengaturan izin tambahan.

1. Buka Options > Software Settings > User Groups & Permissions.

Catatan:

Anda dapat mengedit user group yang sudah ada atau membuat user group baru. Anda dapat merujuk ke artikel tentang cara membuat user group baru dan artikel tentang cara menugaskan pengguna ke user group yang baru.

3. Pilih opsi Reports. Pastikan pengaturan izin Attendance diatur ke Read Only. Pengaturan izin ini diperlukan agar pengguna dapat melihat tautan [ Schedule Automated Absence Message ] pada halaman Student Absences Report.
