CA Period Attendance Verification

Introduction

The Period Attendance Verification report returns students marked present for a specified number of periods. Using the meeting attendance mode, the report returns the number of students who are present N or less Periods in a Day.

In other words, a student must have at least one absent record on each day in the date range selected to be considered in this report.
For example, if two periods were entered at report runtime, the student must be present two or fewer periods or intervals in a particular day to be included in the report. The students are grouped by section with one section listed per page. Each page contains a list of the students and the dates on which they were present in the section.
