Using Your Daily Attendance By Program and Cohort Dashboard Widgets

This article will walk you through how taking daily attendance will integrate with your Daily Attendance By Program and Cohort dashboard widgets. Let's get started!

1. Start by making sure the appropriate widget is active on your dashboard.
   • Making your Daily Attendance Widgets Active or Inactive
2. You are almost ready to track attendance from your dashboard; make sure to fully refresh your BigSIS site and this will refresh your dashboard widgets.
3. Scroll to Enrollment Widgets and your selected attendance will be shown with today's date selected. Click the calendar to update to a different date if needed.
   PRO TIP! The refresh button will always refresh back to today's date.
   
   AND
   
4. You will also see the list of Programs or Cohorts that are available for attendance along with the teacher or associate set to take attendance. It will read 'Office' if there are no teachers or associates set to take attendance. Each program will list Incomplete or Complete depending if attendance has been saved for a given program. 
   PRO TIP! If a program's status says 'No Attendees' that means either there are no students enrolled in the program or attendance hasn't been generated for that program today. If no students are enrolled in the program, make the program inactive. Otherwise, use the Academic Year Wizard to generate attendance.
