Yes! The No Party Group is shared between Hall Pass and FlexTime. You can deactivate it in one module and still keep it active in the other.

If you delete a No Party Group, it will be deleted from both Hall Pass and FlexTime. To use it in only one module, you can use the deactivate functionality instead of deleting it.

Administrators can access the notes in the “FlexTime History Report” under the “Note” column.

Only users with the appropriate permissions—such as teachers who own the activity template or administrators—can modify the number of points assigned during FlexTime Check-In.

QR codes are tied to the activity template and are unique to each activity. However, the same QR code will remain the same across different sessions of the same activity.

No, if this setting is ON, it will only block students from checking in 10 minutes before or after the start time of the activity.

Administrators can select which behavior, if any, to assign to the student when they check in as tardy. This can be configured by navigating to the FlexTime settings page.
