Student Code Entry Log

This feature allows administrators to see a students activity with respect to self-entering codes.

This can be helpful for troubleshooting, or if a student claims to have entered the code, only to find themselves later marked absent.

These logs allow a view of the last 14 days.

To access the Code Entry Log:

Navigate to Admin -> Plug-ins -> "Attendance Codes"

How to interpret the results:

The Access status shows that the student has entered the student portal (but not the code entry sub page), with a count of how many codes are currently available to them. This will typically be 0 if no code windows are currently open, or 1 if a code window is open for a course.
