(This will only let you choose between, present, absent, late, or unmarked)
(Present = )
(Absent = )
(Late = )
(Unmarked = )

Step 4:
If you would like to mark the student something other than the fields listed in Step 3, select "More" to the right of the students' name.

Step 5:
Once the "More" is selected, you will be greeted with the following menu.

Step 8:
Select "Roll Call Settings" in the drop down menu

Step 9:
In the pop-up menu, you can choose to either count or not count attendance towards final grade.
You will also be able to change the percentage in which a lateness counts towards a presence.
