Attendance Feature is incomplete

I feel that the attendance feature is really incomplete.

As a teacher, I may need access old records of attendance. This is quite a core feature.
Moreover, they will need to unmark all inorder to use it the next time. What if the teacher has forgotten to mark attendance for that day, how do the teacher know if the attendance are for today or the day before.
Moreover, the export to excel for attendance does not show the date where the attendance is marked too. The date is labeled on XLS file but the attendance taken might not be on that day.

I feel that this is medium as the attendance does not really value add to teachers and requires them to be very merticulous if they want to have to keep records of attendance.

Perhaps it would be nice if attendance is store with date and resets at the end of the day. To retrieve older records, when print perhaps you can print all the old copies and show it in the XLS file.

Hi thanks for the issue. We dicided not to associate this attendance feature with date, simply because it is way easier to design and implement. One example can be that the attendance function also may not be used once a day. Some events may continue for two days. In this case, it doesn't make much sense to reset all attendances at the end of a day. Currently when you print attendance data, it will also print the datetime of the marking, if a student is present. However, we still appreciate your feedback and we will better mention this in our UG in v1.4 and definitely improve this feature in the future to make it more "complete".
