Leave types in LiveSchools365 Attendance
Leave types is a Attendance workflow in the Daily operations area of LiveSchools365 school management software. Define the leave reasons used when a student or staff member is not present. Schools use it so Reliable registers and clearer attendance accountability.
Record and review daily student attendance by campus, grade, section, and status. The people who typically work here are Teacher, Administrator, Principal, Staff. The rest of the module stays one click away, so an inquiry, register, invoice, or stock movement does not have to be re-typed into another product.
What this workflow changes
- Present stays built in This sits inside Attendance rather than a separate spreadsheet, which keeps the audit trail on the same student, staff, or item record.
- Edit and delete unused types This sits inside Attendance rather than a separate spreadsheet, which keeps the audit trail on the same student, staff, or item record.
- Types already used on attendance stay unchanged This sits inside Attendance rather than a separate spreadsheet, which keeps the audit trail on the same student, staff, or item record.

How schools evaluate this screen
During a demonstration or trial, Teacher, Administrator, Principal, Staff should complete one realistic example: a new inquiry, a section register, a fee receipt, a notice, or a stock issue, depending on the module. Then confirm that the same record appears on the dashboard, the related report, and the next workflow. That is the test of a school ERP: one operational picture instead of parallel files.
Trend Developers can walk this exact screen against your admission, attendance, exam, or fee process. You can also start a 14-day trial and use the matching live form after sign-in.
