ARTICLE: Blackbaud Attendance Sync for Rollcalls 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 been included in a Reach Rollcall using a Rollcall Category that has been configured to use Blackbaud Attendance Writeback.
Once the feature is enabled in a school's portal, the school can set the individual configurations for each Rollcall Category in their system. To configure the Blackbaud Attendance Mark for Rollcall, go to System Configurations > Rollcall Categories. For each required rollcall, select the Rollcall Category and at the bottom of the Rollcall Category Settings in the section titled 'Blackbaud Mark Mapping', select 'Enable Blackbaud Attendance Writeback . From the drop down options, designate which of the Present, Other, On Leave and Absent Blackbaud Marks are to be used for that particular Rollcall Category. Be sure to save the changes within the specific Rollcall Category's configuration page, as well as within the System Config Rollcall Category Management page that displays all of the system's rollcall categories.
When the student is given an attendance mark and the rollcall is submitted, the attendance mark configured for Blackbaud Mark (taken from the school's Blackbaud attendance types) will be used to write an attendance mark that corresponds to the attendance mark given in Reach for that particular rollcall.
