Open the Attendance page and pick a date
In the left menu, click Attendance.
The page opens on today by default. Use the date selector at the top right to move to another day, or click Today to jump back to the current date.
When you pick a past date, a banner confirms you are marking retroactive attendance for that day.
Note
The Attendance page pulls its classes from the **Schedule** page, so it automatically lists every class scheduled for the date you select.
Filter by location
The class list shows all classes for the selected date.
If your academy runs more than one schedule, such as separate locations, open the All Locations dropdown and choose a location to show only that location's classes.
Tip
Locations come from the schedules you build on the **Schedule** page. With a single schedule you can leave this set to **All Locations**.
Select the class
Click the class you are taking attendance for, for example Mini Grapplers (4-7).
A highlighted border marks the selected class, and the Mark Attendance roster for that class opens below the list.
Find your program students at the top
If the class is tied to a Program, that program's students are listed first, each marked with a small orange badge next to their name.
This makes it quick to find the right students, but you are not limited to them. Scroll the full roster or use Search students... to find anyone in the account.
Note
This ordering works when the **Program** is set up in three places: created under **Settings > Curriculum Settings**, assigned to the student on the **Student Information > Details** tab, and assigned to the class on the **Schedule** page. Students can also be assigned to a program in bulk by clicking the **Manage** button while viewing the **Programs** section in **Settings > Curriculum Settings**.
Select students and mark them present
Check the box on each student you want to mark present.
Click Mark as Present to check in everyone you selected at once.
The selected students are checked in and appear under View Attendance for the class.
Tip
To mark a single student, click the green **Present** button on their bubble instead of using the checkboxes.
Promote a rank from the roster
Each student bubble has a Promote button.
Click Promote to advance that student's belt or rank right from the attendance screen.
Tip
The colored bar under each student's name shows their current belt and stripes, so you can confirm a rank before promoting.
