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.
To create a new attendance event, click "Attendance & Check-in" on the Events/Attendance Screen toolbar, then click "Add a Date" button.
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 "Add Date" button.
Once an attendance date is created, it "locks" the tagged names on the attendance roll. So next week if a new person is tagged for the event, they will not be included in the attendance roll because the date is locked. This includes cloned events as well.While you may be proactive in creating dates through the end of the year, we recommend that you just create your attendance dates one week at a time to allow it to include all the tagged names.
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.
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.
