Per-Lesson Attendance & Reporting?

[Driftingashore]

We've been using our MIS (Integris) for AM/PM reporting for a long time now, but being a small school we'd never seen the need to venture into per-lesson attendance. However, we've practically doubled in size over the last few years, and our DSL wants the record attendance on a per-lesson basis to ensure we're aware as soon as possible if a student disappears.

 

On first look, per-lesson custom registers in Integris seem less than useful (though we don't have our timetable imported, which is apparently a paid option and comes with better per-lesson attendance according to RM support - I'd appreciate knowing how anybody finds it if they use it).

 

Really I'm just wondering what solutions others are using for this, and if they get real-time reporting / automated reports shortly after the start of lessons?

 

Thanks!
