Attendance Register Display

Attendance Register Report Version - 4.4

The issue was occurring when a student had overlapping enrollments across two different schools. On such overlapping dates, the system was assigning two separate attendance codes—EL for the same date, which was incorrect.

We have now updated the logic to ensure that only a single character code is returned for a given date. In cases where both an entry and a leave occur on the same day across different schools, the system will now return G Gain (Leave and Entry), as specified in the report output.

This ensures that for any given date, only one attendance code is recorded, avoiding duplication or conflicts.

Calendar Type Default Value

Resolved an issue where selecting a blank value in the Calendar Type dropdown caused the SIF Extended element to omit the @Name attribute for CalendarType.

The system now publishes the CalendarType element with a default value of 'Main' and correctly includes the @Name attribute.
