Have the ability to hide inactive attendance reasons from attendance setting area.

When we first started with this system in 2007, many hands had several ideas of what attendance reasons should be created, and as we have progressed through the years many are not in use, but can not be deleted. It would be helpful to have the ability even though the are marked inactive to hide them from the list that appears so faculty do not have to scroll to select the correct one to mark.

    Admin response

    The setup page for admins has been updated and it will default to filtering the view with Inactive entries hidden.

    Inactive codes should not display for faculty already. Please reach out to support if you are seeing inactive codes still showing as available to be selected for new attendance entries.

    We should be able to delete an unwanted attendance reason after we've moved all the entries to a different reason. Deleted attendance should not keep us from inactivating a reason or entering a snow day or early closing on the daily schedule. Attendance should not be hard coded.
