Additional ranges in Attendance Mass Change Utils
Would like to be able to add more than one day's attendance for a class or activity. At this time we can do one day at a time using Mass add for Single Day. Also we can only add attendance for a Class/Activity/Field Trip for one day. Going in one by one per student is very time consuming. If we could get a box for absence range...or by certain day of week that could be very helpful. EX: We have students that may leave our building during a certain period for 8 weeks and then return to finish the day. We have students who have preset doctor appointments on certain days and times we could add. In addition we have students in certain classes that we prefill attendance for certain periods. Right now we have to go into each screen to get the range to add. See the attachment with screen prints.
It would be helpful if either of the screens could be enhanced to add the same options available under student profile attendance. These include a range of periods a range of dates and a comment field for a range of students by Class Activity or Field Trip or by processing list. Also would like to be able to add codes to without wiping out or copying other codes already in the system by having a check box to overwrite existing data which when left unchecked does not overwrite existing data.

A date range would be great. Right now, I enter the information for day 1 of a multiple day field trip, testing etc. and then clone it and change the date. This saves a lot of time but a date range would be so much better.
