The impact of the deletion varies depending on the nature of the attendance day as follows:

• Automatically calculated day: All attendance sign records linked to this day are returned to “Draft” status.
• Automatically calculated day linked to an attendance sheet: All linked attendance sign records are returned to “Draft” status, and the attendance sheet is automatically recalculated to remove this day and its values.
• Manually calculated day linked to an attendance sheet: The attendance sheet is automatically recalculated to remove this day and its values.
• Manually typed day with linked sign records (originally calculated automatically then edited manually): All linked sign records are returned to “Draft” status, and if linked to an attendance sheet, the sheet is automatically recalculated.
• Automatically calculated day from an attendance permission (leave or delay permission): The relationship between the permission and the attendance day is removed, and if linked to an attendance sheet, the sheet is automatically recalculated.
• Manually typed day with a linked attendance permission (originally calculated automatically from a permission then edited manually): The relationship between the permission and the attendance day is removed, and if linked to an attendance sheet, the sheet is automatically recalculated.
