replaceafillthat's the current absences by day report17:52
replaceafillthat only asks for a date17:52
replaceafillignore the weird date, i forced the report out :)17:53
th1aOh, right, yes, periods...17:53
replaceafillso for a multi date i was thinking just to repeat the table for each date17:54
th1aWell...17:54
replaceafilland print the date instead of "Absences" title17:54
th1aOne thing that jumps out at me now is that the title of this report is wrong.17:54
replaceafillOctober 117:54
replaceafilltable17:54
replaceafilletc17:54
th1aIt should be attendance by day.17:54
replaceafillah17:55
replaceafillgood point17:55
replaceafillit reports tardies now17:55
replaceafillnot just absences17:55
* replaceafill writes that down17:55
th1aThat's fine.17:55
th1aWe have to distill this somehow though to do a ranged version.17:55
th1aLet's call the new one "Absences for Range of Dates"17:56
th1aAnd simply put the number of absences in each grid position instead of the code.17:57
replaceafillah, so it'll be an aggregate report17:57
replaceafillcool17:58
replaceafillthat's all i have th1a18:00
th1aOK, so do we want to package this up next?18:00
replaceafillah sure18:01

th1aSounds good.18:01
replaceafillcool18:01
th1aOK, I have various loose ends to straighten out.  I'm going to get Matt going tomorrow on just a little section on reports, which are not explicitly explained in the docs.18:04
th1aFor you, the new ARK reports then... new school page?18:04
th1a(next)18:04
