Exporting Attendance Data
After processing the parent emails, voice mails, phone calls, and notes, approving parent submitted requested absences, admitting late students, and reviewing the Incidents tab, the Attendance Office may export the list of absent students to an external system.

To export attendance data, navigate to the Incidents tab in the Attendance Zoom. Navigate to the day needed.
To export a subset of a day’s attendance data, set the filters to display the information to be included in the export. To export all incidents on a day, ensure All is selected under Status.
Click Export.
The Export form will appear. Choose the Export type and click Export. The file will download with a csv extension.
To export attendance data for multiple days, in the attendance export form, uncheck Export Selected Records Only. Unchecking this field reveals the date pickers. Set the start and end date, then click Export.
