Tracking and auditing attendance records are crucial for student data integrity and transparency.  We have enhanced the Attendance API to include Insert Date and Update Date for marked attendance records.

These enhancements allow developers to retrieve accurate attendance data. Showing both when attendance was first marked and when it was last modified.

  • Insert Date: When the attendance was first marked.
  • Update Date: When the attendance was last modified.
  • Modified By User ID: The user who made the insertion or modification.

The new attributes are available via the Attendance public endpoints.

For administrators: The required privileges for Attendance API remain unchanged.
