Sessions and attendance

Every time a group meets, that meeting is a session. You create a session for each gathering, then mark attendance for it. This is the day-to-day rhythm of running a group — simple enough to do on a tablet in the room.

Create a session

1. Open the group and go to the Sessions tab.
2. Select Add session.
3. Pick the scheduled date and select Add session.

Each session is listed with its date and an attendance count. You can sort sessions newest- or oldest-first.

Take attendance

1. On the Sessions tab, select Take attendance (or the count) next to the session.
2. You land on the Attendance tab with that session chosen. Each participant has three choices: Present, Absent, or Excused.
3. Mark each person — or use Mark all present / Mark all absent to start fast and adjust from there.
4. Select Save.

As you save attendance, each participant's progress bar on the roster ticks up automatically.

Who shows up in the list

A session's attendance list includes the participants who were active and enrolled on or before that session's date. Someone enrolled later won't appear for an earlier meeting — which keeps your past records accurate.

Add notes after a meeting

Back on the Sessions tab, open a finished session and select Add notes to record how it went. There's always a clear picture of every meeting.

Don't lose your marks

If you leave the Attendance tab with marks you haven't saved, the portal reminds you first — select Save before moving on.
