1. The Attendance Tool allows you to record attendance and allows the student to track their attendance. It consists of creating an attendance scheme, creating a register, and taking attendance. NOTE:  The Attendance does not connect with the Grade book

2. This tutorial will cover creating an Attendance Register.

3. Click Management

4. Click Attendance

5. The Register is what contains the days in which you will record attendance.

To create one, click New Register.

6. Click Name and give your register a name.

7. Type Name and click Return or Enter on your keyboard.

8. Scroll down and click the dropdown under Attendance Scheme

9. A scheme is what signifies what you record for attendance.  For example, present and absent.

Select a scheme.  In this case, I'll select the one I created in the first tutorial, Creating an Attendance Scheme.

10. Select My Scheme

11. The Cause for Concern percentage is based on the percentages you assigned in your scheme and your attendance policy in your syllabus and will alert you when a student is at risk.  It is optional and does not connect with the Grade book.

12. Click in the textbox under Cause for Concern.

13. Type in a number and click Return or Enter on your keyboard.

14. Under Sessions you will create the dates of your class.  For example, if you teach 15 class sessions, you will need 15 rows in your Sessions area.  

15. Since creating this can be a click-intensive process, I recommend that you use code such as W1M for Week 1 Monday.  That way you can reuse this register anytime you teach a MWF class.

16. Click on the textbox under Session Name, next to number 1

17. Type a session name and press Tab

18. Type a description.  This is optional.

19. Repeat to fill all boxes then click Save.

20. To add more lines, scroll and click the textbox next to Add Sessions.

21. Type the number of sessions to add

22. Click Add Sessions

23. Continue to add all the days in which you will take attendance.

24. If you have extra rows you wish to delete, scroll down and click Delete (the trash can icon) to the far right of the row.

25. Click Delete 

26. When finished, click Save

27. Scroll and click Close

28. That's it. You're done.
