How do I add a new Attendance item?
There are two ways to take attendance with the Attendance tool. You can use the Add tab to pre-populate the Attendance tool with class meeting times and special events. If you prefer to take attendance on the spot, you can use the Take Attendance Now button. You do not need to exclusively use one method or the other; they can be used interchangeably within a single course.
Create items from the Add tab.
