Configuring the Absence Events Daily Calculations
To ensure that these calculations are correct, you must define:
- At least one timetable group. See luTimetableGroup lookup table (on page ) in the System maintenance manual.
- The year levels for your organisation. See luYearLevel lookup table (on page ) in the System maintenance manual.
Note: Ensure you allocate each year level to a timetable group, and that the IncludeInCensusFlag field is selected.
- A timetable definition for the timetable group(s). See Defining and setting up timetables
Anchor H_7927 H_7927 (on page ) in the System maintenance manual. - Calendar events to mark:
- the date the timetable starts
- any non-school periods such as public holidays or school holidays
- the date the timetable resumes after non-school days.
See Timetable Maintenance - Calendar Events tab (on page ) in the Curriculum manual.
- Start and end dates for the current semester. See Student File Semester Maintenance - File Semester tab
Anchor H_2517 H_2517 (on page ) in the Curriculum manual.
Note: Your organisation may use another word such as Term instead of Semester.
If your organisation has overlapping semesters, the DEEWR record export uses the earliest-starting semester as its reporting period. In the example below, there are two semesters which overlap during the month of July. If DEEWR records are exported during July, Synergetic uses the first semester to calculate the results.
