# Managing and Correcting Attendance

> Create, edit, or delete school attendance records with care.

Open **Manage Attendance** when an authorized operator needs to correct a record rather than perform a normal check-in or check-out.

## Common corrections

* create a missing attendance attempt;
* correct whether an attempt is a check-in or check-out;
* correct the associated date or time when the form permits it;
* update the intended user; or
* delete an invalid duplicate or mistaken record.

## Correction workflow

    A[Find user and date] --> B[Review existing attempts]
    B --> C{Correct record exists?}
    C -->|No| D[Create missing record]
    C -->|Yes, but wrong| E[Update record]
    C -->|Duplicate or invalid| F[Delete after confirmation]
    D --> G[Review calendar]
    E --> G
    F --> G
```

## Safe correction rules

* Verify the person's identity and attendance date.
* Preserve valid check-in/check-out order.
* Do not invent location details.
* Read the delete confirmation before removing a record.
* Reopen Attendance Review or Calendar to confirm the final state.

<Warning>
  Deleting attendance is appropriate for an invalid record, not for changing its meaning. Update the record when the original activity should still be retained.
