Hi Emma,

I’m not sure I understand exactly what you mean; adding a session and then clicking ”take attendance” only present me w/ a list containing *all* participants. I then need to browse through the list and mark the attendance for the user. The problem is, given that we have hundreds of participants and the lack of a search box (only being able to use the first/last name filter isn’t an effective way of finding the desired participants), that this is a very time consuming activity during a live class situation. If it would have been possible to put a subset of participants into the particular session beforehand, it would have simplified the process a lot. Do you mean that you are able to do that? In our setup, this possibility doesn’t exist.

Kind regards,
Peter

If you create groups and put these subset of students into that group, when you add the attendance activity choose allow groups, then when you take attendance, you can view students by groups
