There are many circumstances that could necessitate sending a notification from the Attendance grid in SchoolFront. For instance, HR may want to send a notification to an employee after they apply an HR Initiated Absence for that employee. It may also be beneficial to send a notification to any employees whose Absence Request has been changed when HR has initiated a Snow Day through Daily Attendance. This can also be desired if an approver has yet to approve an Absence Request for an employee. These are just a few examples of reasons notifications may be sent through Attendance. The steps to do so are below. 

Applicable Roles:

  • Administrator
  • HR Administrator
  • HR Team
  • Business Office
