In this guide, we are going to explain how Attendance is calculated between Vision, BI and in Bromcom MIS, with the guide being split into three sections.
To ensure attendance figures match across the different platforms this guide looks at ensuring cohort filters such as enrolment status and date ranges are the same.
Pre-requisites: To follow this guide, you must have access to and be familiar with Vision and Power BI.
Access: There are no MIS based permissions required to access Vision or Power BI. You will need a User Account or access to your School’s Vision/Power BI accounts.
