Functionality and Set-Up (Permissions and Location)

In order for a user to access Attendance Letters, a System Admin must enable the appropriate permissions for the user or role.  In the Permissions Module, there are three different permissions associated with Attendance Letters:

• Generate Attendance Letters
• Manage Attendance Letter Layouts
• Manage Attendance Letter Thresholds

Suggestions:

• Attendance or office faculty responsible for Attendance letters should have the permission "Generate Attendance Letters.:
• A district-level admin should have all three the permissions: "Generate Attendance Letters," and "Manage Attendance Letter Layouts" and "Manage Attendance Letter Thresholds."  We recommend a district-level admin handle the management of the letters.
• Unless thresholds different differ between site-to-site or from primary-to-secondary, "Manage Attendance Letter Thresholds" should be kept at the District level.
• If a district wants unique attendance letter templates (i.e. logos, saluations, or signatures) or verbiage for each school site or a different layout between their primary and secondary sites, they can opt to enable the "Manage Attendance Letter Layouts" permission to site-level users and train on-site users.
