Feature Update: Attendance Summary

February 13, 2024

Effective extracurricular management relies on accurately tracking attendance and knowing the whereabouts of students. We’ve improved the way schools handle, export, and analyse their attendance summaries. This update is designed to simplify the lives of music tutors and school administrators, providing them with timely and accessible information.

Clipboard’s Attendance summary feature provides schools with an improved means of tracking student attendance. It offers valuable insights into the number of attended, missed, or absent sessions, along with explanations for each.  Some of the key feature updates include: 

Richer Attendance Reports: Tailored to Your Needs

Tailor the attendance table to suit your school's specific requirements, ensuring that your data is easily filterable, with the flexibility to control the amount of information displayed for more comprehensive attendance reports. 

Effective Student Attendance Tracking: Flags for Clarity

The enhanced attendance summary now includes support for attendance flags, offering you the flexibility to customise your data, such as arrived late or no gear. This feature enables a clearer view of student behavior and occurrences from a single, intuitive interface.

Invoice Linking: Streamlining Payment Processes

Simplify your invoicing process with direct invoicing for sessions. This proves especially advantageous for individual sessions like music tuition. Parents can conveniently pay for the invoiced sessions through the parent portal, streamlining the entire payment  process.

Custom Time Periods: Tailoring Views Across Departments

Take control of your school's attendance data by creating custom time periods. Whether it's term dates, semester schedules, or sports seasons, this feature allows you to customise your view at any given point. Share this customised data selectively with specific departments or your entire school's Clipboard setup.
