Looking for schools that take a daily lunch count in BB. How is it set up? I would prefer to try to mix this with attendance. Basically need a roster by homeroom and checkbox columns for options. Some grade levels have 2 categories/options and some have 3 categories/options.

    @Michelle Mueller The only way I could think of to do this would be to create additional attendance codes for each lunch category, so if the options were Salad, Pizza, Protein, you could create
    Present - Salad
    Present - Pizza
    Present - Protein

    OR use the comments/notes for attendance to indicate the choice. Individual codes is cleaner and more consistent, but if you have lots of changing options for the categories it may be easier to just manually type it into the notes when attendance is taken.

    @Jess Moxsky Thank you Jess for your input. I was thinking about making some attendance codes as well. Just wasn't sure what that would look like historically or can we filter those codes out of attendance reports. I will give it a shot.
