How do I enable the New Analytics Online Attendance report in an account?
As an admin, you can enable an Online Attendance report for courses that have enabled New Analytics. Once it is enabled, you can select attendance criteria from the Online Attendance Report settings.
The Online Attendance report displays students as present or absent based on whether they have met any of the selected attendance criteria on a given day.
Notes:
- The Online Attendance report cannot be managed at the sub-account level.
- Data is refreshed in New Analytics every 24 hours. Please confirm the time data was last updated in the course, as content may be outdated compared to recent course activity and student submissions.
- The Online Attendance criteria can be set for a course by a teacher if the teacher role has the Manage LTI permission enabled.
