Reviewing attendance
Once teachers start marking, the Attendance tab is where you review it across your college — the overall picture, per-class and per-student figures, and who's falling behind. You review here; you don't mark attendance yourself as an admin.
Choosing what to review
At the top of the Attendance tab you set filters. You must pick a class to see anything; you can then narrow further by subject, by teacher, and by a date range — All time, Last 30 days, Last 7 days, or a custom range. The figures below update to match.
What you can see
For the class and range you've chosen, you get:
- A set of summary cards — Students, Sessions (recorded days), Class Avg, and Below 75% (how many students are under 75%).
- Student Records — a searchable list (by name or roll) of every student with their present and absent totals and attendance percentage.
- Per-student detail — expand a student to see how their percentage is worked out, a breakdown by subject, and a day-by-day record of present, absent, or not-marked.
This is the college-wide counterpart to what a teacher sees for their own classes — the same honest figures, across everyone. It's a records-and-stats view rather than a chart.
Exporting a CSV
Use Export to download a spreadsheet of the attendance you're viewing, for the selected class and subject — each student, a column per session date, and their totals. It's useful for records, reports, or sharing with colleagues.
Erasing a student's personal data
The Attendance tab is also where you handle a data-erasure request. Erasing a student's data is different from removing them from a class — removing takes them off the roster, while erasing anonymizes their identity.
When you erase a student's data, their name and identifying details are removed, but the attendance counts they contributed are kept, so your class figures and history stay accurate. You'll be asked to confirm, because this can't be undone. Use this for genuine data-protection ("right to be forgotten") requests — if you only want to take a student off the current roster, use Remove on the Students tab instead.
