The Daily Attendance Cycle displays various programs and reports available to perform daily attendance accounting. The form is color coded to display which steps are printed reports (white boxes), scanner sheet reading (green), critical processing steps (yellow), or forms (blue.)

As each step is performed a red check mark will display to ensure that certain steps are not done multiple times and ALL users accessing this form will view the same check marks displayed. The check marks are cleared from the form when option A is selected or the Clear Checkmarks option is selected at the top of the form.
