Attendance record for students

Attendance (object)
Attendance records are created under Session Connections, linking them to Bookings. They are used to represent a student or a faculty attending an individual Booking.
For example, a Session has 20 Bookings in the Term. The student will have 1 Session Connection record linked to the Session, and 20 Attendance records, one linked to each Booking.
Faculty can mark student Attendance for Sessions they are assigned to in the Faculty community.
Faculty also get Attendance records. For Faculty, the Attendance records are generated in advance, and indicate that they need to attend that particular booking.
For a use case on attendance, see: Marking and calculating student attendance.
