Operational data exports: Start Attendance

The Start Attendance export returns all session attendance records within the selected context, including records for inactive/completed groups.

This export is available to any LENA user.

1. Select the highest organization of interest, or a specific group of interest, in the context menu.

If you select an organization (bold header in the hierarchy), the export will pull session attendance records for all groups in that organization and in any nested suborganizations within it. 

To access data for an inactive/completed group, select the organization the group was in. You will be able to filter to see just the desired group in later steps.

2. From the main menu, expand the Data section, select Data Exports.

3. Choose the Operational Data tab.

4. Filter by date range (optional).

Leave dates blank to export all data.

5. Click the Start Attendance button.

The exported CSV can be opened as a spreadsheet in Excel.
