The Dialer Extract Report generates a file for importing into a third-party attendance auto-dialer. 

The extract returns the names, phone numbers and a period string where the student was absent and the excuse is unknown (or, attendance entries that have been recorded by teachers but the attendance office has not yet assigned an excuse).

Report Logic

The Dialer Extract prints the students who have attendance entries with a status of Absent and an Excuse of Unknown. These display in a yellow color on the student's attendance tab.

The report displays the following fields:

  • Student Number
  • Student Name
  • Home Phone Number
  • Grade Level
  • Periods of absence

A Phone Number MUST be associated with the Household in which the student resides to be included in this extract.

Only those absent periods that have an unknown excuse are included. For example, in the image below, the student is marked absent/unknown for all periods on December 6; the Dialer Extract represents these periods in a string of period names.
