# How to Record a Split Attendance


# How to Record a Split Attendance

This article will assist you in creating a split attendance for a child at your Service. A **split attendance** is used when a child arrives at the service, leaves for a short period during the day, and then returns later. This results in **two separate sets of arrival and departure times** being recorded for that child within the same day.

1. Select **Bookings and Attendances** Module
2. Select the **Attendances **Tab

3. Use the Search and Filter function to locate the child that requires a split attendance.
4. Select the Three Dot Menu, **Edit.**

| Note:  If the child has already been signed out, you will need to search on Complete attendances.

5. Select **Split Attendance** when you are ready to sign the child back in to the centre.
