5. Enter a number indicating the % of attendance at which you intervene. (This is optional.)
   
6. Selecting Allow users to view this attendance register is recommended.
   
7. Choose Include all users in the course or if you will have multiple registers, changing the selection to Include all users in the following groups/sections will allow you to limit the students in the register to a specific section or group.
   
8. Determine how many class meetings you will have this term and add the needed rows to the sessions list.
   
9. Enter a Session Name for each row.
   
   NOTE: Keeping the names short and generic keeps the register compact and reusable without the need for editing each term, such as W1.1, W1.2, W2.1, W2.2, W3.1, etc for a Mon/Wed or Tues/Thurs class. And if you have a weekly lab, L1, L2, etc...
   

9. Click the Save button.
   NOTE: You cannot save the register with incomplete rows so delete any unused rows by clicking the trashcan to the right.
