ARTICLE: Blackbaud Attendance Sync for Approved Leaves in Reach

Blackbaud Attendance is not enabled by default for schools that sync with Blackbaud, but if the is a desire for the Blackbaud Attendance sync to be enabled, please contact support@reach.cloud to make that request and we can enable the configurations for the school's portal.  The sync is not bi-directional with Blackbaud, but rather will sync from Reach into Blackbaud the attendance mark for a student who has an approved leave request and is signed out in Reach.

Once the feature is enabled in a school's portal, the school can set the individual configurations for each Leave Type in their system. To configure the Blackbaud Attendance Mark, go to System Configurations > Leave Type.  For each leave type required, select the leave type and in the General tab within the Leave Type Settings and in the section titled 'Blackbaud Mark' designate which of the Present and Absent Blackbaud Marks are to be used for that particular Leave Type.  Be sure to save the changes within the specific Leave Type's configuration page, as well as within the System Config Leave Type page that displays all of the system's leave types.

When the student is signed out to a leave, the attendance mark configured for Excuse Type Selection (taken from the school's Blackbaud attendance types) will be used to write an absence for the dates/times approved in the leave. If the student returns early, then the present mark will be used for the remainder of the time with their class attendance.
