# How Can I Track No-Shows for Scheduled Classes?

You track class no-shows by connecting attendance status to a dashboard that calculates the no-show rate automatically across every scheduled session. On **Jestor**, this runs through dashboard indicators built on attendance data.

Estimating no-show rates from instructor impression, rather than actual attendance data, makes it hard to know whether a perceived pattern is real or just a memorable recent class.

## What impression-based no-show tracking costs

- No real data confirming whether a perceived pattern is actually occurring
- Decisions about scheduling or policy based on impression, not data
- Difficulty identifying which class time or day has the highest no-show rate
- No objective way to measure whether a reminder policy is actually working

## How automated no-show tracking works

- Every scheduled session carries an attendance **status**: attended, no-show
- A dashboard calculates the no-show rate automatically from that data
- Patterns by day, time, or instructor become visible, not just impression
- This data can directly inform whether reminder automation is genuinely helping

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automated calculation replaces impression with an actual, objective rate
- Visible patterns by day or time support targeted scheduling adjustments
- Data-backed insight shows whether reminder automation is genuinely working
- This scales from a small course to a school with high overall class volume
