Uploading seminar attendance

When taking attendance for seminars, you can upload a CSV file containing all of the attendance records. If event manual grading is enabled, the CSV file may also include grades.

1. Go to the Taking attendance tab. 
2. Click the Upload event attendance button. 
3. Upload the file and set the encoding and delimiter type. 
4. Click Continue. 
5. You will then see a confirmation of what will be uploaded.
6. Click Confirm to complete the process. 

You can download an attendance sheet to upload here by clicking the CSV export for upload button.

Available fields

When creating a CSV file to upload attendance you will need to include a user identification field. Choose only one of the following:

• username
• idnumber
• email

You will also need to include eventattendance. For this column each learner will be assigned one of the following codes:

• Fully attended uses 4
• Partially attended uses 3
• Unable to attend uses 2
• No show uses 1

Optionally you can also include the eventgrade column, using a number between 0-100 as a grade (or leave empty to skip).

Example file

When constructing the file the field names above act as column headings with the user data entered under each one as a new row. In the example below the identification field is the username. The first two learners have fully attended while the third was unable to attend the session. Each column is separated by a comma (the delimiter). 

username,eventattendance
sams,4
hans,4
flor,2

Exporting attendance

Where required, administrators and trainers can Export all users and their saved Attendance status to Excel, OSD or CSV. Select the required format from the dropdown menu and choose to either the Open or Save File option when prompted.
