Roll Call - Overall Attendance Report

[Richard-Miami]

Currently the only way to view the overall class attendance (from beginning of semester to today) is by having an Attendance Report emailed to you in .csv format.

Is there a way to view the attendance report from within the Roll Call tool? just like any  other respected LMS system would have it?

Thanks!

@Richard-Miami I looked around, and could not find a better solution than what's already in Canvas Guides.  This seems like a good idea.  I suggest you submit this idea to Canvas Ideas.  https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/canvas-ideas/search-before-post-mode/tru...

I submitted a request for enhancement. Feel free to vote..

Did you you know you can select a student's name and see their overall class attendance from the beginning of the class to today? Attached is a screenshot example. I remember Frodo being late to class one day because he had to visit the healers tent to have them look at his hand.

I'm going to mark my reply as a solution. If it does not work, I see that you have already submitted an idea on how to improve Canvas.

GREGORY, YOUR ANSWER IS NOT A SOLUTION AND SOULD NOT BE MARKED AS SUCH!! 

I find it arrogant and upsetting you took the liberty mark your answer as a solution. It is clear in my post that I'm looking for the same information being emailed in the Attendance Report.

• I'm not only interested how many times students were absent but  EXATLY WHEN (day & date) they were absent.
• I'm not interested in seeing one student at a time, but seeing the big picture for the whole class.

Thank you for your reply. Hopefully the other members of the community will support your suggestion for a Canvas improvement.

We have had a few teachers ask for this.  It seems like it wouldn't be too difficult, because this information is already available to individual students by clicking on the assignment in their gradebook.  It would just be a matter of gathering the information for each student and formatting it differently.  How do I view my Roll Call Attendance report as a Student - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com).  But I imagine this will have to wait until the theme moves forward.
