Grant access to ALL Student Profiles - This will allow users to search for and access ALL students profiles. By default they can only access the students Attendance, Timetable, Behaviour, Discipline, Docs and Classes & Groups tab. 

Allow access to the Attendance tab - This would give a teacher access to the attendance reporting tab.

Enable Attendance Editing - This allows a teacher to edit the attendance of the attendance tab within a student's profile. They can therefore amend attendance marks on a given date or lesson for that student.

This function allows the printing of data fields such as e.g. full name, address lines, previous school, student email etc. This is available through the actions button on a student's profile, class or group.

Allow access to the Behaviour tab - Not to be confused with assigning regular behaviours on a student's profile, the behaviour tab is a reporting tool on all behaviours among all students within a school. Similarly to attendance, only the students whom the Teacher teaches will appear in the reports.
