Case: 

When students are absent from classes, users should describe the reason for that (was that an excused absence or not). The absence type, Excused or Unexcused, is set in the comment to the grade.


Problem: 

Adding the absence type in the comment is inconvenient and is not displayed everywhere across the system.


Solution:

The PDF reports display Attendance (Absence Type) in the Comment field:
