Hi, @Michael.K.1114!
First, Welcome to D2L / Brightspace. We love to hear our client's needs and this is an excellent suggestion for enhancing the Brightspace Attendance tool. Please, feel free to log your suggestion in our Product Idea Exhange
Additionally, you may see what D2L is Planning in our Product roadmap
@Michael.K.1114 I think you just need to build all the late options into a Scheme. For example, Present is assigned 100%, Late by 5 minutes is 90%, Late by 10 minutes is 80%, Late by 15 minutes is 75%, Absent is 0%, etc. Then you just select from the dropdown list instead of manually typing in notes, and D2L will do the calculation to provide the overall % attendance for the semester.
Hello, @Michael.K.1114, how are you?
This is to ask if you still need assistance with your question. This Community article has more information about how attendance is calculated in Brightspace and on how to use Attendance Schemes for that. Full presence corresponds to 100% of the value of a Session, and, by creating different levels of tardiness in the Attendance Schemes with reduced values, at end of the term, you would have the "net" amount of time a Student has stayed in the classroom. I hope you have found this information to be useful. Should you have any other questions, please, let us know, okay? Thank you kindly, Piero de Sá Bilingual Product Support Analyst
