How do we report on Attendance excluding Covid-related codes?

This article explains how to report attendance while excluding Covid-related codes. It details the use of the Covid-19 dashboard, Raw Attendance Marks page, and Custom Report Writer for attendance analysis. It clarifies that codes mapping to X are excluded by default, while those mapping to I can be filtered out. Guidance is provided on filtering options in Attendance Statistics and using the correct column in the Custom Report Writer.

You can report on Covid-related attendance marks from your Covid-19 dashboard, the Raw Attendance Marks page, and within the Custom Report Writer. Full details are available here: Where you can report on the codes?

  • Most attendance analysis pages (including the Absentees and Statistics pages) and your attendance statistics in the Custom Report Writer do not include Covid-related attendance codes that map to X, as they do not affect statutory attendance.
  • However, they do include Covid-related attendance codes that map to I, as these do affect statutory attendance.

For full guidance on how the codes affect your attendance figures, see here: Do covid-related attendance codes impact attendance statistics?

To exclude Covid-related codes that map to I from your attendance reporting, you can filter them out on certain Attendance Reporting pages or the Custom Report Writer.

  • Filtering out marks from Attendance Statistics - Go to the Attendance Statistics page and choose to ignore the Covid-related attendance codes. X codes are already excluded and won't appear in the selection box.

  • Use the correct column in the Custom Report Writer - To report on attendance excluding Covid-related codes, use the Statutory/Roll Call Attendance (Custom) column to select the marks, leaving out Covid-related codes that map to I.
