   * An elementary school creates a small homeroom attendance period to take attendance only one time in the morning. This homeroom period could be 15 minutes. Therefore a full-day would translate to 15 minutes and half-day to 7 minutes.
   * A secondary school or any school taking attendance for each periods. Then to get your full-day minutes you would add the total minutes for each period of the day as you configured them in Periods. The half-day could be half those total minutes or you could define them as all the total minutes of the first 4 periods out of a total of 7 periods in the day for example.

For example, Grade ECE their sets of periods, Grade 1 to 5 has their sets of period times and grade 6 to 8 also have their own period times. The correct way to do this is to put all combination of periods as detailed in the screenshots below. DO NOT use the feature "Block/Rotation Day" for this use case.
