From within a Blackboard Course, click "Mark attendance"

When you access the attendance feature for the first time, you decide if you want to add attendance to your gradebook. On the Attendance page, select Add Attendance and the Settings panel opens.

You can change the default settings for the grade display and for Late in the grade schema. You can't change the percentages for Present, Absent, and Excused. Excused counts as Present for scoring purposes. You can choose whether to include Excused in calculations.

In this example, late and present students will receive the same grade, so 100% is marked in the late field.
