Field	Description
Check In Grace Period (Minutes Prior)	The Grace Period works in conjunction with parent-entered absence requests. If a parent entered a late arrival request, and the student scans in within the grace period and selects a button linked to to the same excuse the parent entered, the scan in/out is matched up with the request and no other processing is needed. A hall pass is printed if selected. Example: A parent entered an absence request for a student with the excuse "APPT: Appointment" The parent selected an arrival time of 9:15am. The Grace Period is set for 15 minutes before/after. If the student scans in between 9 and 9:30 am and selects a button where APPT: Appointment is selected as the excuse, the scan in is matched with the parent request and is considered complete.
