If you are using Qwickly Attendance, it may be most desirable to disable Blackboard's built-in attendance tool (released in 2018) as it may confuse your user base. Furthermore, if you are using Blackboard Learn's Ultra Experience, there is a link to the built-in attendance tool right in front of users that will certainly confuse your user base.
Luckily, it's relatively easy to disable the built-in tool if you are a Blackboard System Admin.
1. Go to the Blackboard Home Screen and go to Admin (screenshots are of the Ultra Experience)
2. Locate the Tools link under Tools and Utilities
3. Scroll down to the Attendance section and toggle off the Course and Organization tool. You'll probably want to change this for both New and Existing courses so it takes effect across the whole system. Submit your settings by clicking the Submit button at the bottom right of the page.
4. Re-visit a course to confirm the tool is turned off. Please note, you may want to give the system several minutes to turn the tool off site-wide if you have a large number of courses on your system.
