Hi -

Has anyone in this forum created a dashboard to track attendance? Students with most tardies, absences, etc?

I haven't done it yet - but I'm thinking about it.

Our teachers enter attendance through FAWeb. I have a one of the canned reports set up for the secretary at each campus to run so they can then call on any student marked as absent without a corresponding call to the school.  I'm thinking of a dashboard for two things -  a report that shows students who normally buy hot lunch who are absent for the day.  We have lunch recorded as an attribute - with each student's choice entered as a description.  I'm thinking I can filter by those choices. 

My other thought about a dashboard would be to show students with a cumulative number of absences or tardies over the tolerance threshold.  Once school lets out on June 13 - I'm going to start working on these.  I'll post back here if I meet with success.

I'm looking fora simple dashboard with # of students absent/tardy/present for today.  I have not seen anything yet that will give this information on the dashboard.

Perhaps I'm not understanding exactly what you need.  But what I set up my

Dashboard to point to a query that uses the "ask" operator where I enter today's

date.  Then the result displays student name, grade and code desctiption sorted

in my preferred order.  It automatically shows current students because they're the

only ones with attendance entered for whatever "today" is.
