Use EDUBase's combined and day-wise attendance reports for per-class summaries, and the owner dashboard or Owner App for today's attendance percentage and absentees. Attendance alerts flag any class not yet marked.
Where does a principal see today's attendance for every class?
There are three places to look, depending on how much detail you need. The attendance reports in the Student Attendance module give per-student, per-class, day-wise and combined summaries. The web dashboard and the Owner App give a quick picture for the day.
Together they answer the three questions a principal asks each morning: who is present, who is absent, and which classes have not been marked yet.
- Attendance reports: individual and combined summaries, including per-class and day-wise views.
- Owner dashboard: today's attendance percentage, new admissions and leavers, fee defaulters and staff attendance, per campus or combined.
- Owner App: a list of today's absentees with call and WhatsApp buttons.
How do I find present and absent figures by class?
Open the attendance reports in the Student Attendance module and choose the combined or day-wise summary. These summaries are built from the same register that teachers fill, so the figures match what was marked. Present and absent follow the attendance marks your school has chosen, such as Present, Absent, Late and Short Leave.
Because attendance can come from the class register, bulk attendance, the Teacher App, QR scans or gate devices, the report reflects all of these in one place. You do not need to collect separate sheets from each method.
- Pick the date and the campus you want to review.
- Use the per-class or combined summary to compare classes side by side.
- Print the result, or use the blank and filled attendance sheets where a paper copy is needed.
How do I know which classes have not been marked?
An unmarked class is a different problem from an absent child. It means nobody has recorded attendance at all, so the figures for that class are incomplete.
EDUBase has Attendance alerts for this. You are told when a class or an employee has not been marked by the expected time. This lets you chase the teacher before the day moves on, rather than discovering the gap in the evening.
If you want unmarked classes shown as a count inside a single table, ask EDUBase Support to confirm which report layout suits your school. Do not assume a specific screen without checking.
- Use Attendance alerts as the first check each morning.
- Use Bulk attendance to mark several classes, or the whole campus, on one screen when a teacher is absent.
- Corrections to a past day can be made with View and update, and the change is logged.
What does a principal see on the phone?
The Owner App is built for principals and owners who are not at their desk. It shows today's P&L, attendance, collections and defaulters across all campuses. The absentee list has call and WhatsApp buttons, so you can follow up straight away.
Absentee SMS or WhatsApp can also go to parents on the same day, so the school and the family hear about the absence together.
- Switch campus or view all campuses in one place.
- Review absentees and contact families from the list.
- Approve leave requests from the same app.
Does the method of marking change the report?
No. QR cards scanned with the free QR Attendance App, biometric terminals and face attendance tablets all feed the same attendance records as the register. Face attendance gates mark attendance through the same path as the register, so parent alerts and reports work unchanged.
This matters for principals because you read one set of figures, whichever gate or classroom method each campus prefers.
