Report Logic

All enrollments are included in a regular school calendar, except the following:

  • Enrollments marked as State Exclude, No Show or WISE Exclude
  • Enrollments in grade levels marked as State Exclude
  • Enrollments in calendars marked as State Exclude
  • Summer School enrollments

Students who have primary enrollments and attendance data in the selected calendar report. Courses marked as Attendance are included, but periods marked as non-instructional are not included.

For the Summary report, a record reports for each applicable enrollment; for the detail report, a record for each instructional, school, attendance date captured by the student's enrollment reports.

Report Editor

FieldDescription
Report TypeIndicates which report generates - the Summary or the Detail.
File FormatThe extract can be generated in either Comma Separated (CSV) or HTML.
Start Date

Indicates the first date used when calculating attendance. Dates can be entered in mmddyy format, or use the calendar icon to select a date.


End Date

Indicates the last date used when calculating attendance. Dates can be entered in mmddyy format, or use the calendar icon to select a date.


Student Selection


Select students to include on the report by choosing either a Grade level of enrollment for the students or an Ad hoc Filter.

  • To include students in all grade levels, choose All Students in the Grade Level options.
  • Selecting an existing ad hoc filter reports only those students or courses included in those filters, if they meet the reporting requirements of the report.

These options only display when the Extract Type is set to Student.

Calendar Selection

At least one calendar needs to be selected in order to generate the extract. Multiple calendars can be chosen by using the CTRL and SHIFT keys. It is advised that not all calendars be chosen at once due to the amount of data that is returned in the extracts.


Calendars can be selected by active year, by school or by year.


This option only displays when the Extract Type is set to Student.

Report GenerationUse the Generate Extract button to immediately display the results of the selected extract type/period. For a larger data set, use the Submit to Batch button. This allows the selection of a specific time in which the extract generates (after school hours). See the Batch Queue article for more information.

Actual Days Attendance

Reports the student's total count of days of attendance from all enrollments in the school that have the same start date. This value reports when the State Enrollment Type is Primary; if not Primary, this field reports blank.


This field is calculated based on the Start Date and End Date populated in the Extract Editor.


Total of all actual days of attendance is calculated from the beginning of the enrollment to the current date.


The count reports first from the Attendance Override field on the Enrollment record if that field is populated on any of the enrollments.


When the Attendance Override field is not populated on all reporting enrollments, the following calculation is used:

  • The Standard Day minutes entered on the Grade Level are used. If the student' enrollment determining the record has a grade level where the Standard Day is 0.5, the student is considered Partially Scheduled and the Partially Scheduled Students calculation should be used to determine their Attendance. If the Grade Level does NOT have Standard Day of 0.5, determine which calculation to use based on the student's Percent Enrolled. 
  • Percent Enrolled entered on the Enrollment is used to determine the calculation. If a student's enrollment determining the record has Percent Enrolled of 51 -100, or the field is not populated, the student is considered a Full Schedule student. If a student's enrollment determining the record has Percent Enrolled of 50 or less the student is considered a Partially Scheduled student.

Full Schedule Students Calculation

For each instructional, attendance, school date where the student has a schedule, the student's attendance is determined as follows:  

  • If the student has no attendance marks, a value of 1 is added to actual days of attendance for that date.
  • If the student has attendance marks of Absent Excused or Absent Unexcused, calculate the total number of scheduled minutes for the student and the total minutes present for the student on that day.
    • If the student's present minutes are 66% or more of the calculated minutes scheduled, a value of 1 is added to the actual days of attendance for that date.
    • If the student's present minutes are 33% or more but less than 66% time present, a half day value (0.5) is added to the actual days of attendance for that date.
    • If the student's present minutes are less than 33% time present, no additional values are added to the actual days of attendance for that date.
    • Calendar Day Events that are 99: Health Emergency are ignored in the calculation.


Partially Scheduled Students calculation

For each instructional, attendance, school date where the student has a schedule, the student's attendance is determined as follows:

  • If the student has no attendance marks, a value of 0.5 is added to the actual days of attendance for that date.
  • If the student has attendance marks of Absent Excused or Absent Unexcused but is present 1 or more minutes, a value of 0.5 is added to the actual days of attendance for that date.
  • If the student has attendance marks of Absent Excused or Absent Unexcused for the entire day with 0 minutes present, no additional values are added to the actual days of attendance for that date.
  • Calendar Day Events that are 99: Health Emergency are ignored in the calculation.


Report the total of all possible days of attendance for the date range provided.

Possible Days Attendance

Reports the student's total count of possible days of attendance from all enrollments in the school that have the same start date. This value reports when the State Enrollment Type is Primary; if not Primary, this field reports blank.


This field is calculated based on the Start Date and End Date populated in the Extract Editor.

The count reports first from the Membership Override field on the Enrollment record if that field is populated on any of the enrollments.


When the Membership Override field is not populated on all reporting enrollments, the following calculation is used:

  • The Standard Day minutes entered on the Grade Level are used. If the student' enrollment determining the record has a grade level where the Standard Day is 0.5, the student is considered Partially Scheduled and the Partially Scheduled Students calculation should be used to determine their Attendance. If the Grade Level does NOT have Standard Day of 0.5, determine which calculation to use based on the student's Percent Enrolled. 
  • Percent Enrolled entered on the Enrollment is used to determine the calculation. If a student's enrollment determining the record has Percent Enrolled of 51 -100, or the field is not populated, the student is considered a Full Schedule student. If a student's enrollment determining the record has Percent Enrolled of 50 or less the student is considered a Partially Scheduled student.

Full Schedule Students Calculation

For each enrollment included in the record calculation from the enrollment start date to the current date, the unique days of enrollment in each calendar for the days marked Instruction, School, and Attendance is counted. 

  • If the student is not scheduled on that date, no possible days of attendance are counted for that date.
  • If the student is scheduled into attendance taking courses, a value of 1 is added to the possible days of attendance.
  • Calendar Day Events that are 99: Health Emergency are ignored in the calculation.
