🔒 The actions within this article are controlled by the <code>Registration settings setup</code> permission

Go to Tools &gt; Apps &gt; Attendance &gt; Registration settings.

In the Registration times section, enter the start time and end time for each of the AM and PM registration sessions.

Where AM and / or PM registrations are the same as a lesson, link the registration session to the relevant teaching period; this eliminates the needs for marks to be entered twice for these periods. Note that this is not mandatory and should only be used if the session and lesson times are the same for the whole school. 

After completing your selections, click Save to save your settings.

Decide which types of incomplete registers will trigger alerts to staff:

- AM Registers
- PM Registers
- Lesson Registers

Use the toggles to enable/disable each option, then click Save.

Choose how attendance percentages are calculated and displayed across Satchel One:

Session – based on AM/PM registrations only

Lesson – based on attendance in all lessons

Combined – a blend of session and lesson data

- Session – based on AM/PM registrations only
- Lesson – based on attendance in all lessons
- Combined – a blend of session and lesson data

Use the dropdown menu to select your preferred calculation method, then click Save.

Question	Answer
Why link a registration session to a teaching period?	This avoids taking the register twice when the same students are taught immediately after registration. It improves efficiency and reduces workload.
What’s the difference between Session and Lesson attendance rates?	Session rates are based solely on AM/PM registrations; lesson rates reflect attendance throughout the day. Combined rates blend the two.
Do incomplete register alerts send notifications to teachers?	Yes, enabling these toggles will generate reminders for staff to complete their outstanding registers.
