Getting started with a new system can be very exciting, especially an app! But we understand it can also be overwhelming to take on so much information and change. That’s why we’ve crafted this Getting Started Guide, which will help you work through the app at your own pace. You can also refer back to this guide whenever you need a little refresher.

Absentee

If you have the Absentees feature enabled, parents can let you know if their children are going to be absent via the App.

By default, these forms will send a notification to a nominated email address at your school.

Depending on your package with Digistorm you may also be able to access the form submissions via the Forms module in Funnel.
