Attendance Report
After many hours and numerous service calls to skyward found there is no report within skyward that would break out attendance by day for a range of time (monthly) and then give totals for absence codes.
Need to run attendance data by month for administration. At this time no report will provide the "daily total" and then add up for a "monthly total" of # of students absent fpr what reasons. Reports are run by student not by day. By adding a range box to certain reports maybe able to accomplish this task.

I can't stress how important this is for schools right now. Currently I navigate to Office>Attendance>Reports>Chronic Attendance Report Then set the absences, ranges and so on and get a percentage for each student and can find out what students are chronically absent based on the ranges needed.
Problems:
1. Doesn't have a unique identifer in the fields when exports. State Student ID, Other ID, Internal ID, anything would be huge.
2. Grouping, let us remove grouping and not require at least one. This wastes time by forcing us to go through the spreadsheet and delete the arbitrary grouping.
3. A new report that prints students who are chronically absent on a threshhold that can be set by the district, for instance, 10% or more chronically absent would save even more time.
Currently, I have to create this report, and pull another report from skybuild with student data, then use formulas to remove parts of the name on one of the reports because the student full name field are different in both, one includes a middle initial and the other doesn't, then I can have data as to what student is actually chronically abstent based on their other ID. This takes way too much time and should be the most simple thing to include the Other ID.

Adding a field box would also allow us to add select field to a specific date report. EX: adding a student category code would allow us help us with our Choice count reports.
