3. FAQs
1. What's the difference between attendance lists and participant reports?
An attendance list is a report based on activity occurrences, and which registered participants are expected to participant on that specific occurrence. It can vary from one occurrence to the next, depending on who is registered to participate on that specific occurrence. Session attendance lists are tracked separately from drop-in attendance lists.
Activity or participant reports shows a list of all participants registered to an activity, whether they are drop-ins or session registrations. It provides a count of every participant registered to the activity, as opposed to a list of participants who are expected to be at each occurrence.
2. Does taking virtual attendance sync with attendance tracking in Access Management?
When you take attendance with the Amilia mobile app or from the Attendance list section in the Activities > Registration subtab, attendance does not sync with our 'Attendance tracking' tool in Access Management.
The 'Attendance tracking' tool in Access Management adds more features when you track check-ins and check-outs, such as child pick-ups and daily notes at your point of entry.
