Attendance summary report.

[Tom Hoffman]

Our school is using the journal to track attendance for every period that a student is registered. So for example, Student X rotates through six different classes throughout the day and has attendance taken six times. All students use the same six period schedule.

The problem is that when logged in as a clerk or even site manager, the journal view simply shows the period as a blank (regardless of which combination of groups or instructors is selected) and so the attendance cells also remain blank. It seems to me that to view attendance for Student X throughout the day an administrator would need to pull up his calendar and then click through each section journal to see the section attendance. Is there some way to see a single student's attendance across all the sections/periods he is enrolled in for the day? I feel like I must be missing something obvious!

(As an aside it would also be nice is there was some way to add course/section filters to the master journal.. To accomplish something like this we have created a "master teacher" to add as an instructor to every section of every course -- but again I could also just be missing something!)
