How do I add an Attendance collection?

Attendance allows you to send out communication to your parents for events which do not require payment. Parents are then able to confirm whether their child will be attending an event or not.

To create an attendance event, click the Collections tab on the left-hand side of your dashboard.

Create a collection as per normal, entering the event start and end dates. Under the heading “By when should the member pay ?” enter the date by which you would like attendance to be confirmed. Please note that although this heading includes the word “pay”, no payment will be made when a parent confirms an attendance event. Parents will only select yes or no for attendance events.

If you would like to attach an agreement to an attendance event (to ask the user more questions aside from just yes/no), you will be able to attach an agreement to an attendance event.
However, you will not be able to attach an agreement until you have first created an agreement. If you have not created any agreements yet you will not see the Agreements checkbox (it will be missing).

Find out how to create an agreement here.

Once you’ve added your agreement or if you are not adding one, add the students to the collection and simply press submit to create your collection.

A parent will see the following attendance invite on the calendar screen of the app, where they will be able to select yes/no.

If yes is selected the invite will display as follows:

If no is selected the invite will display as follows:

If no is selected and the parent clicks to go into the event, they will be able to still change their minds and select yes to attend.
