# How to mark daily attendance?

Attendance Management Options in WEXL ERP

WEXL ERP provides two convenient options for managing attendance:

1. **Mark as Holiday:** Designate an entire day as a holiday.
2. **Mark Attendance:** Record attendance for a class and automatically notify parents of absentees via SMS, informing them their child is absent for the day.

**Steps to Mark Attendance:**

1. On the **Teacher’s Home Page**, locate the **Attendance** tab on the left-hand side and click on it.
2. This will display a page with a list of all classes and dates.
3. To mark attendance for a specific day, click the three dots next to the respective class. A menu with two options will appear.

4. Select **Mark Attendance**, and a page showing the list of students for the class will be displayed. By default, all students are marked as present.
5. Use the **Search** feature to find a student or scroll through the list to mark absentees.
6. For flexibility, toggle between **Forenoon** and **Afternoon** filters to mark attendance based on the time of absence (e.g., if a student leaves school early due to illness).
