Attendance Icons in the Attendance Pane in the SIP and Day-By-Day

This article outlines how the system determines when and which icon displays under 'Period-Based View' on the 'Attendance History' pane in the SIP, and under 'Day by Day' on the 'Attendance Administration' page.

Why are some of the Attendance icons missing under Period-based view?

This occurs when there is no Timetabled classes timetabled for that period. 

Icons do not display for Calendar classes are they are against a time-range, not a period, the attendance for these classes is only visible in the SIP under Linear view.

Why don't Attendance Icons show in Period-Based View for Calendar Classes?

Unlike timetabled classes which are timetabled against a period, Calendar classes are assigned to a time-range. 

The only time an icon will display when there are Calendar classes, is when there are also timetabled classes that run across the time-range. Where this is the case, the system will display an icon based on the attendance for the timetabled class.

As the Calendar class attendance only shows under 'Time-Based' view, there should be some consideration when choosing which 'Class Type' should be used for timetabling.

How the system determines which Attendance Type icon to show

The system can only display one icon for each period under the 'Period-Based' view, both in SIP and some Attendance Reports (i.e. 'Attendance Solution Details').

• If there is only one type of attendance recorded for a period the system will display the icon regardless of the duration of recorded attendance

If there is more then one attendance type recorded for a period the below rules apply.

• The system will display the attendance type that runs for the majority of the period. If the attendance runs for 50% of the period they system calculates it down to the second.
• Regardless of the duration of the class, if the attendance type runs for 5 or less minutes the icon will not display.
