Using the EdPotential Student Attendance Report

This guide shows you how to view and use the Student Attendance Report in EdPotential.

To view a student’s attendance, click into the Reporting tab. Then, type the student's name into the search bar.

The student's report will open beneath the student list. You'll find the Attendance Report beneath the Student Details section. 

The Attendance Report consists of three parts, which we'll cover below.

Part 1: Attendance to date

Here you can select the time period you would like the report to be based on.

The pie chart gives the percentage of timetabled periods attended within the time period you select.

Part 2: Attendance by timetabled periods

The table gives a breakdown of the number of entries for each attendance code. The percentages and counts that are calculated and shown here reflect the same time period that is chosen in Part 1. 

The period count can be added to the table by clicking on Show counts.

Part 3: Attendance over time

You may choose to show attendance by day, week or month by clicking on the appropriate tab. 

The top chart shows attendance by periods/spells. The elements are stacked, so when there are justified and unjustified absences, they are visible above the blue present line. Presenting the data in this way makes it easy to see when a student has not been present 100% of the time.

The bottom chart shows attendance as a percentage of half days. The percentages on this chart correlate to the half day attendance rates used by the Ministry of Education. The line at 90% indicates the level the MoE specifies to be regular attendance.
