Attendance Log and Session Log — New features and updates

All enrollment data for heritage classes and EdgeEX sections is combined into a single view, removing the need to open separate reports. 

The new log includes students whose home school or secondary school is the selected school and incorporates attendance data from all their enrollments.

 The daily data represents total session time, grouped by each session throughout the day.

Educators see students whose home school or secondary school matches the selected school, including students who haven't logged in. This data included any work in courses assigned to those students. 

The report showed attendance data from heritage courses and shows attendance data from EdgeEX sections as idle time. 

Educators see students whose home or secondary school matches the selected school and any EdgeEX attendance data from sections they work in. 

This version only displays attendance data from EdgeEX enrollments and filters the list to show only students who had active time.

All assessments submitted, regardless of outcome, are displayed. 

This provides clearer understanding of how students spend their time. For example, if a student who has multiple quiz attempts spends an hour on a difficult lesson, they might fail a quiz, review the content, and then retake and pass the quiz. 

In the previous logs, this scenario appears as one quiz, which can suggest the student spent an hour on a single assessment. In the new log, this appears as two quizzes, more accurately representing that the student invested time in mastering the content through multiple attempts.

Exporting to CSV is available and has been moved to the top of the page, making it easier to find. The export now includes: 

• Student GUID (labeled as StudentID). 
• Student name (last name, first name). 
• Each day of the week. 
• Total time logged each day.

The Export to CSV button is located at the bottom of the page.

The export includes: 

• The Edgenuity ID (labeled as User ID). 
• Student name (last name, first name). 
• Each day of the week. 
• Total time logged each day.
•  Total number of assessments each day. Assessment counts are combined with time in this export, making it difficult to filter and calculate specific information.

Sorting by student name is supported and works across the full dataset, including rows not currently visible on screen. 

If you need to sort by specific days or other columns, we recommend exporting  to CSV and use sorting and filtering within the spreadsheet.

Educators see a red alert icon automatically when Speed Radar detects students completing activities faster than expected.

 There is no need to toggle Speed Radar on or off.

These alerts were not included in the heritage printable version, nor are they included in the new version printable version.

There is a single search field that searches by last name. Limiting the query to last name prevents performance issues now that this one report holds significantly more data. 

Educators can type a single letter to return all students whose last name begins with that letter, which replaces the functionality of the alphabet bar on the heritage report.

Attendance Log, educators can filter students by typing first name, last name, user ID, or username into search boxes. For example, entering a last name will filter the log to show all students with that name and highlight the search term. 

Educators also have an alphabet bar across the top that filters the list by the first letter of the student’s last name.

Educators search for students through a drop-down field that supports first name, last name, user ID, username, middle name, or external ID. 

This filters the options within the dropdown so a single student is selected.

The filter supports both heritage courses and EdgeEX sections. Selecting from the drop-down menu initially shows courses and sections you have access to, and typing in the field filters the results. 

Educators can select one or multiple courses or sections to display attendance data for any of those linked enrollments.

Educators use a sections drop-down menu that shows all sections. Typing in the field begins filtering the list, and users can select one or multiple sections.

 Any enrollments in those sections display once filtered.

A text box for the date is available, but there is also a calendar widget that makes it easier to navigate to previous weeks, months, or years.

When a date is entered or selected, the Attendance Log displays data from the preceding Sunday through the following Saturday.

Groups are user-specific and are not visible to any other user. 

A Groups filter is available and works similarly to the other filters. Educators can type a group name in the drop-down menu to filter the list and select one or many groups.

Classes are similar to groups, however, they can be shared with other educators. The Classes filter remains unchanged in the new version.

Educators can type in the field and filter by one or more classes using a drop-down menu. 

Previously, when staff or support users impersonated a student and completed coursework, the activity displayed in the student’s Attendance Log and Session Log alongside the student’s own data. 

In the new Attendance Log, work completed while impersonating a student does not generate attendance data and will not appear in the report. 

Important note: Work completed while impersonating is still reflected in the student's gradebook, and any scores earned are still included in grade calculations. This change helps ensure that attendance time and assessment counts reflect only the student’s actual work. When testing or troubleshooting while impersonating a student, staff should not expect to see that activity included in attendance metrics.

With this release, some behind-the-scenes work was required to show data from both heritage and EdgeEX together on the Attendance Log since time calculations sometimes varied. However, to preserve any exports or reports educators may already rely on, we did not change historical data. 

Beginning May 1, 2026, all time metrics use consistent calculations between heritage and EdgeEX. Educators can view data from before May 1 upon request using a form linked at the top of the report.

All enrollment data for heritage classes and EdgeEX sections is combined into a single view, removing the need to open separate reports.

This includes enrollments from the selected school and any secondary enrollments assigned from any other schools within the district.

All assessments submitted, regardless of outcome, are displayed. 

This provides clearer understanding of how students spend their time. For example, if a student who has multiple quiz attempts spends an hour on a difficult lesson, they might fail a quiz, review the content, and then retake and pass the quiz.

Printing as a PDF is available and includes:

• The date range of the report on the first page. 
• Header titles (Session, Time, Activities Completed) that span across multiple pages. 
• A formatted report as it displays on screen.
