+In the example, the student has been associated to more than one group on individual days of the week. In general this is not appropriate. This image is intended to represent a group with no days selected, a group with weekdays select, a group  with all days selected, and two groups with individual days of the week selected.

+It is common to associate students to one or several groups without setting any day of the week as the default. These are known as optional group associations and are used to populate the [[classroom:Current Day Override]] list for the student.
+Typically when a student deviates from the normal dismissal method for a single day the deviation will be to either one of the groups for which the student participates on other days of the week or a very small set of options from the entire list of all of the school groups. By displaying only the associated groups on the [[classroom:Current Day Override]] screen, data entry may be done more quickly and with less chance of error.
+For example, if a student could possibly ride on a specific daycare van but would never be allowed to walk or bike home, constraining the [[classroom:Current Day Override]] screen to include only the single daycare van and omitting all other daycare vans and all "Walk or Bike Home" groups ensures that those options will not be selected from that screen.
