ATT - Absentee Report

Absentee Report Overview

This program produces a report outlining details of student absences for a nominated date.

General and UD Tabs

You can use any combination of fields on the 'General' and 'UD' tabs to filter the data produced in the report. A 'Date' must be entered.

You can opt to exclude students who were away for acceptable reasons such as school excursions. Absentee reasons are setup using TASS.web program Student Admin > Attendance > Setup Information > Attendance Setup.

The 'Parent Acknowledgement' drop-down list allows you to filter based on one or more of three potential statuses:

No (No parent acknowledgement for this absence record).
Yes (An acknowledgement has been entered by a teacher or administrator).
PL (An acknowledgement has been entered by a parent through Parent Lounge).

Print Tab

Sort By

This will determine the order the records will appear in the report.

If you sort by 'PC Group', 'House' or 'Year Group' you can elect to force a page break after each group by checking the 'Page Break by Sort Field' box (bottom right of screen).

Formatting Options

Choose the 'destination' of the report. This can be to Adobe® PDF viewer, Microsoft Excel® or Microsoft Word®.

Use the checkboxes on the right side of the screen to indicate your preference for displaying 'Alternate Row Colours' and 'Table Borders'. These can enhance the readability of the report.

An extra checkbox option to 'Include Parent Phone' details is also available.

When Your School Is Using Communication Rules

If your school is using 'Communication Rules' this program will use the 'Communication Rules' rules that are set up for each student, to determine which parent phone numbers are displayed on your report.

'Communication Rules' provide a 'student-centric' way of defining precisely how different areas of your school communicate with parents. They are especially useful for communication with split families and for families with students who have multiple parenting arrangements.

For more information, refer to 'How to Handle Split Family Arrangements'.

If your school is going to enable 'Communication Rules' you should refer to the 'How to' guide 'Setting Up Parent Addresses in TASS.web'.

Choose the appropriate 'Communication Rule' to use for this report. The program will default to the 'Attendance' rule.

For further information on the rules available click here.

If your school has not enabled 'Communication Rules' this field will not be available and the parent phone information will be derived from the default address that is maintained using TASS.web program Student Admin > Parent Records > Parent Information > Parents.
