  • Student signed in without a note

Using Filters (Recommended Best Practice)

The filtering system makes this process extremely efficient.

Example Best Practice:

Most schools review last week’s lates, filter for unexplained lates, and assign detention to students with 2 or more lates. Our system allows you do this in less than 1 minute. 

Step 1: Set Date Range

• Set Date Range: Last Week

Step 2: Filter by Authorisation Status

Set Authorisation Status to:

• Pending
• Unauthorised

What these mean:

• Pending – Student signed in late without a note, and parent has not yet explained
• Unauthorised – Parent received alert but did not authorise the late

Example of Unauthorised:
Student was dropped off on time but leaves school grounds and returns late.

Step 3: Filter by Number of Lates

• Use the Late Arrivals ≥ filter.

For example:

• Enter 2
• This will show students with 2 or more lates within your selected date range

Adding to Detention

• Review the filtered Late List
• Tick the students you wish to add to Detention
• You can use Select All beside the Student Name column
• Click Add to Detention
• Select an existing Detention session
  OR
• Create a new one

Important:
You cannot create a recurring detention from this screen.
