Report Logic
Logic determines the report population as follows:
- Reports one record per student's date of reportable attendance per school.
- A student must have a Primary Enrollment in the calendar(s) selected on the report editor.
- Students with enrollment records marked State Exclude are excluded from reporting.
- Students with enrollment records marked No Show are excluded from reporting.
- Students in Grade Levels marked Exclude from state reporting are excluded from reporting.
- Students in calendars marked Exclude are excluded from reporting.
- A student must have reportable attendance in their Primary Enrollment for a Date record to report.
- Days NOT flagged School, Instruction, and Attendance - do not report.
- Days the student is either not enrolled or is not rostered into at least one attendance-taking class in the Primary Enrollment do not report.
- ONLY Enrollments in Calendars selected on the extract editor are considered.
- Should there be multiple enrollments for the same student, in the same school, on the same date AND attendance is tied to both: total attendance minutes calculate from all selected calendar enrollments in the same school on that date report the derived Attendance Status to the enrollment marked primary.
- Should there be multiple enrollments for the same student, in the same school, on the same date AND attendance is tied to both: total attendance minutes calculate from all selected calendar enrollments in the same school on that date report the derived Attendance Status to the enrollment marked primary.

Generate Report Click the Generate Report button to immediately generate the report. The report will appear in a separate window in the designated format.
Submit to Batch Clicking the Submit to Batch button to send the extract to the Batch Queue List. Batch Queue functionality provides the ability to schedule when the extract is generated and allows users to navigate away from the Student Daily Attendance editor while the extract is being built. The Batch Queue List also lets users view and access historical reports which were run through the Batch Queue tool.
Send to State Clicking the Send to State button will send the report data to the state system (Synergy). Reports sent to the state will appear in the Web Service Queue List where you can view its current status (Status), view all data sent to the state (View Submission), and review any errors returned from the state (View Result).
