How do I mark attendance for my group?

Describes how to mark attendance from a group event, meeting or gathering.

You'll need to be the group admin, or have Full Write Groups or Full Write Events permission to perform this action.

Marking attendance for your group

Open Groups from the left-hand menu and choose the group you want to take attendance for. On the group page, click the Attendance tab, then click + Mark Attendance.


​


​

In the Mark Attendance dialog, use the Date dropdown to pick the meeting you're recording attendance for. The dropdown lists existing events on the group's calendar from roughly 1 month back through 2 weeks ahead. To create a brand-new event for the attendance record (and have it appear on the group's calendar), choose -- New Event -- at the top of the dropdown. Click Continue to open the attendance editor.

Tip: if you need to take attendance for a group event that falls outside the Date dropdown range, open the group's Calendar tab and click the event there instead.

All current group members appear on the guest list automatically. Click a person's image to toggle them between present and absent.

If check-in is enabled, you can also add a check-in directly from the list using the Add check-in option on a person's card.

Adding additional guests to the attendance total

The top of the screen shows a quick snapshot of how many people are marked present and how many are absent.

In the top-right of the General section, click the Edit Details to add custom notes or to record a count of attendees who weren't on the guest list (for example, walk-ins). This lets you log a head count for an event without naming each individual.
