Marking Attendance

Marking Attendance for Fixtures & Training Sessions

Team Manager allows you to record attendance for both Fixtures and Training Sessions.

There is an important difference between the two:

Fixture Attendance → Syncs with your attendance system and marks students as School Activity. (Very important!)

Training Attendance → Internal record only. No syncing takes place.

⚠️ If Fixture attendance is not syncing correctly with your Attendance System, please contact: staffsupport@uniqueschools.ie


Step-by-Step: Marking Attendance

If you are already logged in, skip to Step 2.


2. Open Team Manager

From the main dashboard:

2.1 Click Team Manager

Important: Enter the Time Range

When the Mark Attendance screen opens:

  • Enter the time the students will be out of class
  • If it is an all-day event, enter the full school day

⚠️ This step is VERY IMPORTANT.

Entering the correct time ensures:

  • The attendance system is updated correctly
  • Students are marked as School Activity
  • Parents do NOT receive incorrect absence notifications

Mark Students Present

  1. Tick the names of students who are present at the fixture
  2. Students not ticked will be treated as not attending
  3. Click Submit once complete.

This step prevents unnecessary absence alerts being sent to parents.


Marking Attendance for a Training Session (Internal Only)

Training attendance does not sync with your Attendance System. It is for internal tracking only.

To mark training attendance:

  1. Click Trainings
  2. Click the View icon on the far right
  3. Click the Mark Attendance icon (first icon on the right side)
  4. Tick students who are present
  5. Click Submit
