Creating Attendance Events

The Attendance Screen allows you to enter a record of attendance for your events and classes. You'll need to create an attendance event prior to entering attendance, or before using the Check-In feature.

  1. To create a new attendance event, click "Attendance & Check-in" on the Events/Attendance Screen toolbar, then click "Add a Date" button.

  2. Create a New Attendance Event
    Alternatively, you can create a new event on the Event Screen Calendar by clicking any date. If you add attendance tracking to it, it will then show up in the list on the Attendance & Check-in section.
  3. Next, type an Event name, and select a date from the calendar. You can also select the Calendar to which this event will be attached. When finished, click the "Create Attendance Date" button.

  4. Create a New Attendance Event
  5. Now that the event has been created, you need to select which tags to use for this event. You can select the tags manually, or copy the tags that you used from a previous attendance event.

  7. After adding your tags, you're able to enter attendance for this event. You can use our Quick Entry method by clicking on a tag and marking names present, or you can use our Family Check-In or Live Mode options for attendance entry.

You can also take attendance for any event on the Events Screen calendar, except recurring events. If you need to take attendance on a recurring event, first click to edit the recurring event and choose the "This Event Only" option. This operation pulls the event out of the recurring series and enables you to add attendance records to the event.
