We’ve released some exciting updates to the Child Care Attendance app this past month! First, we have streamlined the process of marking children absent using the app:
- Site staff can now use mass selection to mark multiple children absent in a single procedure.
- Additionally, we have added automatic section selection to this process, the app will now automatically select the child’s scheduled section for marking children absent.
- This automatic section selection function is similar to the automatic section selection during the sign-in process.

We have also added a new group by section feature. Sites that are running multiple sections at a time are now able to group and sort the children list by section.
