Admin › Attendance Acronym Active/Inactive lists every mark the system supports — Absent, Late, Leave, Short Leave, Death Leave, Paper Leave, Sandwich Leave — and lets you switch each one on or off.
Only the ones switched on appear as buttons on the attendance screens, so a school that does not use Sandwich Leave never sees it.
Kaunse marks chalu karne hain aur kaunse band rakhne hain — the whole list is on this one page and the choice is yours.
Students and employees are set separately
Each mark has two tick boxes: one for Employees and one for Students — students ke liye alag, staff ke liye alag. They are independent, which is what you want — Paper Leave makes sense for staff and not for children, so the options offered on the student register need not match the ones on the staff register.
Set both columns, then press Save once at the bottom. There is one Save for the whole page.

Common confusion
"I switched a mark off — is old attendance lost?" No. Records already marked keep their value; you simply stop being offered that button for new entries.
"The button still is not there." Refresh the attendance page — the list is held briefly after it loads.
"Present is not in the list." Present and Off Day are always available and are not switched off.
