How do I configure attendance event category types for my institution in Admin Settings?

In Elevate K-12 Analytics Admin Settings, the Attendance Event Category Type setting allows you to specify an attendance marker for each attendance category used in your institution's Student Information System (SIS). Each attendance category indicates an event that interrupts normal student attendance.
