Access these settings under Administration > Configuration settings > Attendance. This category contains 5 settings, listed below with the title and comment shipped in the platform's settings fixtures (SettingsCurrentFixtures.php).

Allow comments in attendance sheets

Teachers and students can comment on each individual attendance (to justify).

Default: false

enable_sign_attendance_sheet

Attendance signing
