It says iPad Air (3rd generation).
Is that iPad Air 1 or iPad Air 3?

Hi Bert,
We gave up on it last year but now a new year has started. We already are in school for 3 weeks and we are keeping up with the attendance. In a few weeks we need to find out if students have been present for at least 80% of the lessons.
Can you help me setting this up from scratch?
I have the attendance columns working, just need to figure out how to create the calculation bit.
Kind regards,
Dennis
PS: I see I have two accounts for this forum, this is confusing. My apologies, I am Dennis Goedbloed

Did you try to import the template I prepared in the previous page of this post?
If you are working with a fairly recent iPad, drag and drop the template in the list of classes and you will see a working example in your device

Yes Bert, it worked now. Thanks for your help!
Every time I tried over the last year (!) I had trouble importing the file. Eventually I found out it doesn't work trying to drag and drop it from the Google Drive app. This is a limitation from Google's app but it took me a lot of frustration before I figured that one out.
I finally succeeded when I downloaded the file to my mac (laptop) and sent it to the ipad through Airdrop. Upon receiving I was prompted with a menu and chose iDoceo to open it with. From there it was a breeze. :blink:
Thanks, after a bit of investigating are these the steps to take?:
Is this correct? In that case I will create a video for other (dutch) teachers.
(I made a few already here on Youtube )
Kind regards and thanks again(!) for your help,
Dennis

Thanks, after a bit of investigating are these the steps to take?:
- In Gradebook, press +
- Press the cog icon next to Attendance
- Choose which icons to use for Attendance
- Press Grade type and change to Attendance Grade Type
- Back to Gradebook and press +
- Add Folder
- Edit folder --> Change fast conversion to percentages (0-100%)
- Now, back to gradebook again and use + and add Attendance colomn(s)
- Drag attendance columns into folder
Is this correct? In that case I will create a video for other (dutch) teachers.

Yes Dennis, that is a correct procedure.
A couple of quick notes:
If you use the 'Files' app in your iPad (with Google Drive as a location), instead of the Google Drive app, drag&dropping should work.
Instead of moving the column's location after creating it, you could create all your attendance columns in a specific tab automatically (it is in the attendance cog's preferences) and
move them to a folder later on to speed up the addition of attendance columns.
You can also move columns in bulk from Tools > Columns > Select them > Cut and Paste

But those are great tips: THANKS!
I will add those as well (might make a separate video on using Files (and Google Drive or OneDrive)) they are time savers!

You probably know this already but from Add column > Multiple columns > Attendance you can create all the attendance column for the whole year in bulk
