Homepage - Missing Registers Notification Panel

[barney]

Whilst I applaud adding this functionality to the homepage for an attendance administrator or head of year, surely a trick has been missed. I thought the whole purpose of this was to alert the teacher to that fact that they had "forgotten" to take a register and to see a list of missing or incomplete registers they may have.

No, teachers shouldn't forget to do their jobs properly, else we'd have to sack them all!

It's for an overseer to check they haven't forgotten and gently remind them with an annoying message and high pitched squeal so we don't have to sack them.

 

EDIT: I only noticed this recently, but the message they get actually has a link on it to take the user straight to the Take Register screen so they can mark it. That's cool

And it is working too!

One or two staff that were not so diligent before are starting to learn!

Thanks for the replies fellas. Do you mean the message they receive following intervention from a head of year or attendance administrator?

yes, as in when the nominated 'overseer' checks the panel for registers not taken at the preset alert interval and ticks the boxes so those teachers get a messages when you hit send.

 

i really like it, except i needed a patch because it was reporting fully complete registers as missing. hopefully from 2moro or sunday patch will be tested and applied so i can start sending those messages in bulk.

 

luckily double clicking the class on the panel opens it up, so you can see if it has been taken.

Requested patch, but was recommended a better one.

Applied last night, but still having issues with registers that are fully marked showing up as missing.

Still a great feature though.

We had the same problem with complete registers still showing on the missing list, we applied the patch and it did not work for us so our attendance officer stopped using it.

 

I am glad to say since the Autumn upgrade it is all working very well now.

Thanks for the heads up, i'll stop worrying about it so much.
