Exclude a Date

Looking closer at the Engagement Map, we can see Ted didn’t attend the week of August 22nd. We know Ted’s car broke down in a storm that week, and we’re feeling generous, so we’ve decided to ignore that absence in Ted’s streak data. All we need to do is select the "Aug 22" week in the exclusion map and click the Save button. Now it’s like the absence never happened.

  1. Engagement Graph - You might notice the engagement graph looks the same as it was before adding the exclusion. That's because the graph still accurately reflects data from attendance records. Ted’s absence still exists even though we excluded it from his streak data.
  2. Longest Streak - Ted’s longest streak is now "4" even though we can see from the engagement graph that he never actually attended four times in a row. The exclusion doesn’t count toward the streak, but it also doesn’t break the streak. In other words, the excluded date is skipped over.
  3. Engagement Map - Like the engagement graph, we can still see that Ted didn’t attend the week of "Aug 22" because it isn’t selected in the engagement map. This is accurate according to attendance data.
  4. Engagement Exclusion Map - Selecting "Aug 22" triggered the updates in the above points. If anyone were to question the discrepancy between attendance and streak data, it’s clear here that a week was manually excluded.
