edge's Attendance module includes a set of analysis and reporting tools under Attendance > Analysis and Attendance > Attendance Lists: attendance rate reports, statistics with flexible breakdowns, a Graphs and Exports task, year-to-date and weekly class views, and a truancy report. Most of these pages require the View Attendance Analysis and Reports permission; the "My Class" views need only the Manage Own Class Attendance permission, so classroom teachers can use them for their own classes.

Graphs and Exports
Attendance > Analysis > Graphs and Exports is an additional task that must be enabled for your school — contact support if you cannot see it. The page presents a Select an export list of attendance graphs and data exports. Each item is a ready-made export or graph with its own parameters (for example, a choice of attendance codes drawn from your school's code list); choose one, set its parameters and run it to produce the output. The exact list of graphs and exports available grows over time as new ones are published.

Attendance Rates
Attendance > Analysis > Attendance Rates offers two reports on the same page, switchable with in-page buttons:
- Student Attendance Rates — one row per student.
- Class Attendance Rates — aggregated rows per class (note: this view is based on current class membership).
To run the report:
- Set the Period Start Date and Period End Date (defaults to the last week).
- On the By Student view, optionally use Filter By to narrow by year level, subject class, group, student type, form class or individual student, and apply gender criteria. On the By Class view, select the classes to include.
- Review the grid. Rates are calculated as half-days attended divided by half-days open, with a parallel measure based on periods attended out of periods open. Averages are shown in the footer.
The grid exports to CSV, or to PDF (all pages, or just the current view) in landscape A4.

Attendance Statistics
Attendance > Analysis > Statistics provides two related reports, again switchable in-page:
- Statistics by Group — overall half-day attendance percentages.
- Statistics by Code — the incidence of one or more selected attendance codes (you must choose at least one school code).
Filters include the date range (defaults to the last seven days), a Filter By selector (year level, class, group, student type and so on), Ethnicity selection with a "Preferred Ethnicity Only" option, and Students to Include options (full time, part time, leavers, and gender for co-ed schools). You then choose what to break the results down by: ethnicity, year level, gender (combined or separate), or class — including horizontal/vertical class groupings where your school uses them. The result grid shows each breakdown group with its student count and percentage rate, and exports to CSV or PDF like the rates report.

Class Statistics — Daily / Weekly / YTD views
Under Attendance > Attendance Lists > Daily / Weekly / YTD there are two parallel sets of pages:
| Menu | Who it is for | Permission |
|---|---|---|
| Class Statistics | Office staff — pick any class in the school | View Attendance Analysis and Reports |
| My Class Statistics | Teachers — limited to the classes you teach | Manage Own Class Attendance |
Each set contains:
- Summary by Class — a launch page for printable class attendance reports. Pick a date range (defaults to the previous school week) and print a period attendance PDF for one class, all of your classes, or every class and teacher in the school. The PDFs are generated in the background and downloaded when ready. This page also offers an Emergency Absences Report PDF, by class or by day.
- View Attendance YTD (called YTD Summary by Class on the whole-school menu) — a year-to-date matrix for one class: students down the side, half-days across the term. Choose the term from the dropdown; results page 15 students at a time, with a Print All Pages option.
- View Attendance Weekly (Weekly Summary by Class) — the same matrix style for a single Monday–Friday week. Pick any date and the page shows that week, for a class or for a whole year level.

Truancy Report
Attendance > Attendance Lists > Truancy Report (requires View Attendance Analysis and Reports) produces the "Attendance, Absences and Truancy List" — a school-wide analysis of absence and truancy rates.
- Choose this year or last year, then set the start and end dates (defaults to the last 14 days).
- Optionally restrict the report by funding year levels, ethnicities (two levels) and gender.
- Run the report.
The output shows percentage tables for the full school, then broken down by year level, ethnicity and gender, with these measures: Justified Absences, Unjustified Absences, Intermittent Unjustified Absences, Frequent Truant, Truancy Rate (unjustified plus intermittent) and Total Absence. A final table lists Frequent Truants — students whose truancy rate exceeds 15% — with their form class and rate.
If the selected range includes days where attendance marking is incomplete, the report warns you that the data is incomplete. The report is designed for printing via the in-page Print link; there is no file export on this page.
