The absentee form in the Digistorm App is a quick way for parents to let you know when their student won't be attending.
Advice in this article also applies to some other forms natively enabled in the Digistorm App.
Notification contacts
When a submission is made, an email will be sent to a nominated contact.
Digistorm manages this, but if you would like your contact email address updated please send a message to our support team via the chat at the bottom right of this page. They can then get the nominated contact changed for you.
Prefilling
The exact configuration of prefilling varies between apps, so it's important to note that the details included below are general.
If you have any questions about your app, please reach out to our support team via the chat at the bottom right of this page.
