  • To check the Attendance record for the Students identified go to Reports>Attendance>Attendance Certificate>Students and choose the date ranges for the Census you are running>Preview.

THE EXAMPLES AND SCREENSHOTS IN THIS GUIDE ARE FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY

First, check the Enrolments for the Students indicated in the Query. To do this, select Students from the left hand menu.

Find the Student in the list, click on them once to select them then click View.

Select Enrolment.

In the Enrolment Status panel, check that the Enrolment record is correct. Note that where the Student hasn’t left the school but has different periods of Enrolment, the End Date of the previous period of Enrolment and the Start Date of the next should be sequential.

Using the following screenshot as an example the initial period of Single Registration ends on 25/01/2023, and then the period of Dual Registration begins on 26/01/2023

If the Enrolment records are correct, you can then check the Attendance Certificate. Go to Reports>Attendance>Attendance Certificate>Students
