Attendance Count Report

Use the Attendance Count report to generate multi-day period-by-period attendance code information.

Note: You can search on any absent or present attendance code that is stored in the database. However, instances where the absence of an attendance code indicates a presence is not searchable as an attendance code value is not stored in the database.

Note: You can also access this report by clicking Attendance > Attendance Count.
