Attendance Records Overview
The Attendance Records (Overview) tab is a master list to view all your attendance records in one place. This page has been designed with Attendance Managers and Administrators in mind and can be found under the Location/Attendance tab. A link to 'Roll Settings' is also accessible from here if you have permission to manage roll settings.
Group Roll Records
Group Roll Records capture attendance for a group of students such as classes or regular daily rolls.
The Group Records tab now includes purpose-built filters to help you find and review rolls more precisely. Four filter options are available:
Roll Status — Filter by Outstanding (not yet completed) or Completed rolls. This replaces the previous Not Started / In Progress / Completed states and gives a clearer picture of what still requires action.
Attendance Rolls — Filter by specific roll type (e.g. Morning Roll, Evening Roll). Useful for narrowing down to a particular scheduled roll across all groups.
Roll Type — Filter by Daily, Automatic, or Emergency roll categories. Lets you isolate the type of roll being taken without affecting other filters.
Date — Filter by date. The date filter respects your school's timezone, so records are always anchored to the correct local day.
Tip: Filtering rolls by Roll Status 'Outstanding' can help Attendance Managers or Deans follow up on staff that have not marked attendance on time.
📸 Screenshots note: Screenshots in this section need replacing to show the new filter toolbar introduced in April 2026.
Automatic Roll interactivity: Clicking on any Automatic Roll entry in the Group Records table now opens the standard Roll Check modal, letting you review individual student attendance details without leaving the page. This matches the behaviour of manual and traditional rolls.
Student Roll Records
Student records capture attendance for an individual student. You can filter by Roll Code, Code Type, and Pass/Excuse Type, or search for a specific student. This gives you a daily overview of who was present, absent, late, and excused.
We have recently updated our roll record page layout (Q1 2025) — read more at Student Roll Record Page.
Tip: You can filter based on Passes/Excuse to get a list of students who are expected to miss class for the day.
Attendance Records on the Orah Families App
Parents and guardians can now view their child's attendance records directly from the Orah Families App. Once logged in, parents can navigate to their child's profile to see roll history including present, absent, and late records.
Note: The Excused/Unexcused classification is not shown to parents — only the reason name is displayed. This is intended behaviour.
