Attendance Aggregation

The Attendance Aggregation routine is used to bring together pupil level attendance data to a school’s level of data. The Aggregation Details panel allows you to manually run the aggregation process or re-aggregate data from previous Academic Years. The date the aggregation routine is run is stored in the database against each school included in the aggregation.

To run the attendance aggregation:

1. Go to v4 client | Tools | Administration | Attendance | Attendance Aggregation.
   
2. Select an Academic Year.
3. Select a Period checkbox. These must be uniquely defined for all half terms in each Academic Year.

   • Click the Add/Edit button to open the Base Selector dialog.
     
     Search for and select bases as required.
   • Highlight a base and click the Remove button. A confirmation dialog is displayed.
     
5. Choose from the following options:
   • Aggregate Immediate
     Click the Aggregate Immediate button to run the process immediately. Confirmation dialogs are displayed.

   • Aggregate Schedule
     Click the Aggregate Schedule button to select a date/time to run the process. A Last Run date is shown if the Aggregate Schedule process has been run before.
