How to make signatures optional for Student Sign-In and Sign-Out

By default, a signature is required for signing in or signing out a student. However, you can make it optional by following these simple steps:

1. From the District dashboard or menu to the left, under “Manage registration and attendance,” click “Attendance taking policy”.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the page to “Dashboard sign-in/sign-out settings for staff and authorized individuals”

3. Select "No" for “Require signatures when signing in students from dashboards?” or “Require signatures when signing out students from dashboards?” accordingly.

4. Click the pink "Save" button when finished.

Note: When “No” is the selected option, it will make the signature optional. You are still able to add a signature.

If you sign a student in late or sign them out early, the reasons will be displayed as shown below. You also have the option to add signatures.

If signatures are set as optional and there are no late sign-in or early sign-out (either the reasons are not required or not triggered) clicking the sign in or sign out button will directly sign the student in or out. However, if you need to add a signature, you  can do so by clicking the arrow next to the button.
