Understanding the Chart
The Status by Period chart is a useful way to see a large amount of absent and tardy data and easily identify any trends between attendance periods. You may quickly identify a certain attendance period is common for tardies or absences and use this knowledge for student engagement opportunities.
Double-clicking a bar will show you a table detailing all the data that makes up that bar.
Use the table below for help in understanding each sub-report column:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Student Name | The student's full name. |
| Attendance Period | The attendance period reporting data. |
| Period Schedule Name | The name of the period schedule reporting data. |
| Attendance Day | The day of the week the absence/tardy occurred. |
| Attendance Date | The date of the absence/tardy. |
| Excuse Code | The excuse (reason) code for the absence/tardy. |
| Excuse Reason | The excuse reason for the absence/tardy. |
| Student Person ID | The personID for the student reporting data. |
Using the dropdown list in the image below, you can filter data to display a count of students per absence/tardy reason per attendance period.
| Chart Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Count of Attendance | Displays a count of absent and tardy attendance events by attendance period. |
| Count of Students | Displays a count of students per absence/tardy reason per attendance period. |
You can remove and filter any data from the bar graph by clicking the 
button, selecting the data type you wish to filter, and unchecking the data you wish to remove from the graph.
Filtering Chart Data
You can filter chart data to only students in your Early Warning Watchlist, Counseling Caseload, and/or a specific Student Ad Hoc filter by clicking the Students button and selecting any combination of these options.
Ad Hoc Queries and Selection Editors are supported in Insights by filtering from the Student panel.
Pass-through SQL Queries are not supported in Insights.
Creating Templates
Templates allow you to save all filtering and formatting options you have set for a chart and have these options automatically applied each time you select a template. Templates are chart-specific, meaning they are only available and apply to the chart for which they were created.
For example, if you filter the chart data by Watchlist in the Student option (see section above) and modify any formatting and field options (any options shown below), all your selections can be saved as a template by clicking Templates and selecting Save New Template.
Once saved, each time you return to this chart you can automatically apply these options by clicking Select Template, choosing the template, and selecting Apply.
