Locate the participant in your List of Participants

There are several tools to navigate your list of participants.

You can type a whole or partial name into the search bar. The list will filter down as you type to match your search criteria. 
 
You can scroll down the list to find the name. By default, 25 participant records will appear on one page. At the bottom right, use the menu to change how many participant records are displayed per page, and use the arrows to navigate through different sections.

Existing participation records for the individual are listed in the table that appears. Some of these records only indicate that the person is "Enrolled" in the Activity/Session for a date, not that attendance has been recorded yet for that date.

Add New Participation 

For Unscheduled Activities

To create a new participation record for the individual, click Add Participation +
Image showing the Add Participation icon marked by a red callout.
On the form that appears, enter data for the Activity, Session, Date (type or use the calendar), Status (e.g., Present, Absent), Start Time, End Time, and optional Notes
 
Custom fields may appear at the bottom of the form; required custom fields are indicated by a red asterisk.
 
The participation date cannot be in the future unless the Status is marked as Excused Absence, which can be future-dated, as such absences are often reported in advance.

The default start and end times are 12:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m, respectively. Change the times if tracking the actual time the individual was served is important for your reporting needs.
 
Click Save Participation when finished.

On the form that appears, the Activity, Session, Date, Status of Present, Start Time, and End Time fields will be automatically populated. 
 
If the Status you want to record is not Present, select the appropriate Status.
 
The Start Time and End Time default to the original Activity Session times; those times can be adjusted to reflect actual participation times if desired.

Custom fields may appear at the bottom of the form; required custom fields are indicated by a red asterisk.

Click Save Participation when finished. A green message confirms that the data was saved, and the record will now have a different status than the blue "Enrolled" status.
