From Chaos to Clarity: Using Reason Codes & Insights

Attendance data is only as useful as the structure behind it. Schools with poorly configured Reason Codes end up with dashboards full of noise - and leadership asking questions the data can't answer. Getting this right early means your school can actually use its attendance data to make decisions, not just record them.

This session covers Reason Code setup and the Attendance Insights Dashboard so your school gets reporting that's meaningful from day one.

Who should attend:

• Attendance Managers and Admins configuring the Orah platform for their school
• Assistant Principals and Division Heads who use attendance data to track patterns and intervene early
• School leadership who rely on attendance reports for compliance, safeguarding, or strategic decisions

What we'll cover:

• Reason Code configuration: how to set up codes that give you clean, categorised data
• Common mistakes that make reporting ambiguous - and how to avoid them
• Attendance Insights Dashboard: how to read it, filter it, and surface what matters
• Using data to identify patterns: chronic absenteeism, year group trends, and follow-up triggers
