The **Attendance Change History** report shows every change made to attendance records after they were recorded. Auditors and subsidy agencies often ask for this alongside the sign-in/out records, to see that corrections are tracked rather than overwritten.

## Run it

1. Go to **Reports** and pick **Attendance Change History** under **Attendance & Safety**.
2. Pick the center, an optional room, and the date range.
3. Click **Print** and choose **Save as PDF**, or **Export CSV**.

The date range is the range of **attendance days**. A correction made today to a day last month shows up when you run last month.

## What each row shows

- **Changed**: the date and time the change was made, in the center's time zone
- **Changed by**: the person who made it ("Kim Ray (Admin)"), or **System** for an automatic check-out
- **Attendance day** and **Student**: the record that changed
- **Type** and **What changed**: for example *Times edited: Check-in 9:50 AM → 8:00 AM*

## What counts as a change

| Type | What happened |
|---|---|
| Times edited | Someone changed a check-in or check-out time. The row shows the old and new times. |
| Record deleted | A day's record was removed. The row keeps what it said. |
| Check-out undone | A check-out was cleared (usually a child checked out by mistake). |
| Entered later | A day was added after the fact from the Attendance page. |
| Parent correction / Parent entered day / Parent entered pickup | A parent fixed or entered their own child's times at the kiosk (state subsidy program children). |
| Auto check-out | No one checked the child out, so the center's closing time was filled in. |

Ordinary check-ins and check-outs are not changes, so they are not listed here. They are in [Arrivals & Departures](/owners/reports/run-an-attendance-report).

In Arrivals & Departures, any stay whose times were changed carries an **Edited** tag, so you can see at a glance which rows have history here.

## Good to know

- No one at your center can edit or remove entries in this report. Deleting a record adds a row here; it does not erase the history.
- Older changes appear too. NestliCare has recorded time edits since June 2026 and deletions and undone check-outs since July 2026; this report makes that record visible.
