Lessons can slip past unmarked — a busy day, a forgotten register, a stand-in teacher. LessonLoop keeps every unconfirmed lesson in one place so attendance never quietly goes missing. There are two ways to clear the backlog: confirm a whole lesson in one tap from the register, or work through the dedicated unconfirmed list.
Mark a whole lesson present in one tap
When a whole class turned up, you don’t need to tap each student. Open the lesson’s register and use All present to confirm everyone still unmarked in one go.
- Open the Calendar and move to the day with the unmarked lessons, then choose Take attendance to open the register.
- Check the student list for that lesson.
- Tap All present — every student who doesn’t already have a record is marked present together. You can still set individual students to absent, late or cancelled first, and All present only fills in the rest.
This is ideal when a whole class attended and you just need to confirm them together. The same All present action is available straight from the unconfirmed list below, so you can clear a backlog lesson without leaving the queue.
Work through the unconfirmed list
Every past lesson still awaiting attendance collects in one backlog view at /calendar/unconfirmed, so nothing is forgotten even weeks later. It has no sidebar item of its own — you reach it from wherever the app is nudging you:
| You’re on… | How to open the backlog |
|---|---|
| Today | The “needs attendance” tile in your attention list |
| Anywhere | The notifications bell in the top bar |
| The register | A link to the unconfirmed lessons |
Each of these opens the unconfirmed list, where you step through the outstanding lessons and mark each one. Every lesson in the backlog carries its own “All present”, so a class that all turned up is one tap from cleared without opening its register. Once a lesson is marked, it drops off the list automatically.
Why it matters Attendance feeds invoicing, make-up credits and your reports — so a lesson stuck "unconfirmed" can hold up a parent's invoice or a student's make-up. Clearing the backlog keeps the whole spine accurate.
Which one should I use?
- A whole class that all attended? Open the register and tap All present to confirm everyone at once.
- A scattered backlog across several days? The unconfirmed list walks you through them one by one so none are missed.
