Two key features in Edge SM that are especially useful during lockdown are messaging your school community and managing your attendance en masse'.
There are a number of ways of keeping your community in touch with your school via Edge .. this includes announcements, emailing and notifications to the mobile app.
Please click this link to view a video on how to configure and use this functionality.
During lockdown most schools are adding the F code (The student is not in class but is on a legitimate off-site school-based course) to their students. Class teachers can add this to their own class if they have been given the F code as an option.
To do this in bulk you need the Attendance Officer Role.
Go to Attendance>Attendance Records>Mark Attendance>Multiple Days
Alongside Mark for multiple: select Class
From the Room/Group dropdown choose Whole School (if you have created this as a Group), otherwise select your classes.

Alongside Sessions tick 'All'.
Choose Attendance code F from the dropdown.
Add a suitable Attendance Note and Save.
