Take attendance in the admin portal

We updated ASAP to make it easier to take attendance in the admin portal. Now you can take attendance for group classes or private lessons all on the same page.

We added custom attendance codes for group classes so you can create options like "tardy" and "left early". You set these codes up on the Navigation menu under Modules, in the Attendance codes section.

In this article, we walk you though taking attendance starting from the class details page and starting directly in the Attendance tool. We also walk you through taking hourly attendance (which hasn't changed in this next generation ASAP).

• Taking attendance from the class details page
• Taking attendance using the attendance tool
