Attendance Frequency Reports
Hi, Ive been updating many of the PSCB reports with one of our custom fields. It has worked successfully on many reports, but when I try to add it to the daily and meeting frequency reports, it no longer runs. It seems like I am updating the code correctly as it has worked on other attendance reports. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? Thanks!

Daily Attendance
If we are using meeting attendance, and do not have a bridge period for daily attendance, is it possible to use Attendance conversion or Average Daily Attendance to make these Daily attendance reports work? I am curious if any other schools using meeting attendance without a bridge period are able to have Daily attendance numbers.

The report will report all daily attendance values that are manually entered or calculated by a meeting attendance conversion method.

Will those calculated by a meeting attendance conversion only show up in ADA reports or in Daily Attendance reports as well?

Extra Line Breaks & Whitespace in Fields
In Meeting Attendance - Selected Date Report (Modify), when exporting to CSV, the student name and attendance code fields have extra whitespace and line breaks included. While not visibly obvious when opening the CSV in Excel for the student name, the attendance code doesn't appear unless the row height is expanded. The line breaks and whitespace are visible when opening the CSV in a text editor.

Daily Absent/ADA Summary Totals
Good Afternoon. The Dean of the HS just loves this report but it is not giving any Tardy totals. Where do I go to set up that information? The two tardy attendance codes (TS and T) are mapped to the Attendance Code Category of Tardy. Am I missing a step?
Thank you

Adding Attendance Total/Averages
Hi,
We are running some of the meeting attendance reports, and it would be great to have an average or totals of the codes at either the bottom or top of the screen. So if Im looking at a student, I can see the total # of a code he has for that day. Can this happen? It would be great to have something like this on the Attendance/Enrollment page as well. As you do for daily attendance. Thanks!

Student Attendance Range Report
We have still been using the student attendance range report from the old Custom Report Bundle. Recently the copy button stopped workling because it used Flash. My question, is there an easy way to rework the copy/export boxes or is there a plan to add a similar Student Attendance Range report for the current PSCB Attendance Reports

Student Attendance - Daily/Meeting Summary List
We just discovered that the headers are not matching up to the proper period. In this report, it is showing up as:
P1 P2 P3 P4 P5... when actually, it is
P1 HR P2 P3 P4
In the Meeting Attendance - Current Date Summary, it is listed correctly as:
Period 1 Homeroom Period 2 Period 3...
This is how it the headers should be. How can this be corrected?

When looking to modify a student attendance record for Meeting Attendance (middle/high schools), the pop-out window does not display any options. The screen is completely blank. When modifying daily attendance (elementary schools), the information is available to make the change and works properly. Please advise.

Error
Update - when I am in custom page management looking at the code for this report and use the preview page option it is showing the pop out correctly. But on the live side when trying to use the report it gives me the error.
-----------------------------------
I am having the same issue - when clicking on the attendance code, the pop out is blank where it should go to the student change attendance page. Also, when I click on the student name I get an error "An error was detected contacting the server. Please contact customer support if this continues to occur."
Using Google Chrome and also tried FireFox browsers
Any assistance is greatly appreciated and thank you for all you do to make our jobs easier!

tudent Attendance - Daily Absent/ADA Summary Totals
The Daily/Absent/ADA summary report is looking at my ELng Present code as an absence. We were full remote until last week and just started using the ELP code. The code is mapped to Elng Present in the school's code set-up, and is calculating correctly on the Illinois Student Attendance Report required for reporting In-Person Present and Elng Present attendance to the state.
I have also made sure the ELng code is added in the PSCB Attendance setup. Am I missing something, or is anyone else experiencing this?
