Report Orientation

The Period Detail Batch Report can be generated in either Portrait or Landscape format.

Non-Instructional Periods

Attendance taken in periods marked as Non-Instructional can also display on the report, if desired. If this checkbox is not marked, only attendance from Instructional periods prints.

When selected, the attendance taken in non-instructional periods is included in each of the attendance summaries. This is based on the period being marked as Non-Instructional on the Calendar Periods tab for each period schedule. If a period is marked as non-instructional in one period schedule and instructional in another period schedule, it always displays.
