[sims] Sims Attendance

[bossman]

Hi All,

I have just been asked by SLT if we can alter the Attendance Summary Graph so that it shows the different categories separately rather than "Present and Authorised absences" you will have 2 categories "Present" and "Authorised"

 

The combined categories so they say are confusing to the Teaching Staff as you can see from this pic:

 

I can kind of see their point but feel its a little overkill, can we ask for a change of format via Capita and how do we go about this?

 

Thanks for all your help in advance,

 

Have a good evening folks

A lot of people have found this. If you however over it, you can see the breakdown.

In terms of getting it changed you need to log a Change Request (CR) on supportnet.

actually if you search which is hard to do, you might already find one there, in which case it's worth adding your 2 pts worth of support.

let us know what you find or if you make one so we can all vote.

No need to vote on this one. As @vikpaw says a lot of schools didn't agree with this change. The categories will be separated - I think in the summer release.

Yay!

See, if a tree falls in your AD forest and no-one else is online you know @PhilNeal will be listening

I've been advised that it's actually going to be changed in the autumn release.

Hi @PhilNeal,

 

Will the Attendance Intervention widget on the Student Teacher View Page also be changed? That line chart is similarly very misleading. It states weekly attendance 100% even if the pupil has been absent (authorised) all week!
