Data Source of Attendance Insights Dashboard
Allow schools to change the data source for the Attendance Insights Page
Display attendance data recorded within Orah
if roll call is being taken on Orah, this source is used to display attendance records on the attendance insights dashboard
Display attendance data recorded within Blackbaud.
if roll call is being taken on the school's SIS, this source is used to display attendance records on the attendance ce insights dashboard
☝🏽 Note - 2 Roll Completion Rate Widgets are not available when data source is Blackbaud
Additional Settings - Define Roll Call Timeframe
School can define a specific timeframe during which roll checks can be taken from the My Schedule page on Orah.
The timeframe governs both taking a roll and editing a roll from the My Schedule page — once an event falls outside the window, staff can no longer take or edit that roll from My Schedule
By default teachers can take roll call for T+1 day meaning today and yesterday
This setting allows teachers to take roll call for up to T+6 days meaning past 1 week
Just enter the number of days by clicking the pen icon at the end
"Staff can take or edit roll checks for events that were scheduled up to ___XXX___ days ago from the "My Schedule" page."
☝🏽 This is a single school-wide value. There is no per-user or per-role version of this timeframe — the number you set applies to every staff member who takes roll from the My Schedule page.
Editing rolls outside the timeframe
Records that fall outside the window are still editable from Attendance > Student Roll Records by anyone who has the edit roll record permission
So the timeframe limits the My Schedule page only — it is not a lock on the record itself
To stop a particular group of staff (for example, substitutes) from editing rolls, remove the edit roll record permission from their role rather than changing the timeframe
Daily Attendance Policy
Daily Attendance is a record of a student’s attendance status on a per-day basis. The policies can be used for calculating daily attendance that is displayed across multiple pages.
