Understanding chronic absenteeism reports

Overview

Cohorts, thresholds, and trend lines.

This guide walks through the recommended workflow inside the Reports area of PSA 360.

What you'll see

• A header with the most important metric and a trend indicator.
• Supporting cards that break the metric into actionable groups.
• A timeline or list of recent activity tied to this view.

How to read it

1. Start at the top — the headline metric tells you whether action is needed.
2. Scan the supporting cards left-to-right; each one filters the list below.
3. Click any row to open the underlying student, case, or task.

Common questions

• Why does the number differ from the SIS? PSA 360 syncs nightly; same-day changes appear after the next import.
• Can I save my filters? Yes — use Save view in the top-right to pin your preferred slice.
• Who else can see this? Visibility follows role and school scope. Admins see all assigned schools.
