Synergy: Mass Change Attendance (Daily Attendance)
Mass Change Attendance allows users to change a large amount of attendance (from one
code to another) in a quick way. Users can filter who the attendance is changed for (i.e., by
group or section) or can change attendance for anyone with a specific code.
STEP ONE: OPEN MASS CHANGE ATTENDANCE

Go to SIS> Attendance> Mass Change Attendance. You can also open Mass
Change Attendance through the Menu Bar, Quick Launch, or Quick Nav options.
STEP TWO: MASS ATTENDANCE CHANGE TAB

Make sure you are on the Mass Attendance
Change Tab.

Go to Change Reason Codes. Select what code
you to change from and select what code you want
to change to. For example, if you wish to set all
students with an “unverified” code to “excused”,
you would choose unverified in the from drop down
and excused from the to drop down. Note: If from
is left blank and a code is selected in to, and mass change attendance is run, codes will be added to
students who had blank attendance codes. Also, override any value will see that any code is
