2. Mark attendance

Attendance is automatically marked based on check-in data. Verify it is correct and make manual corrections if needed by clicking the attendance icons next to each name.

Important: Check attendance immediately after class. If you make changes, use Save in Draft first. If the platform will not let you correct attendance, contact Support immediately.
