Overview
This document covers the Insights Attendance Dashboard.
Configuring the Dashboard
Class Form - Pick the "Class" form related to the registration grid that you use to track attendances.
Important Note: You will only be able to reference one form, so please pick carefully. If you use more than one form to track attendances using multiple registration grids in your Apricot instance, you will need to decide which one is most important to associate with your dashboard.
Location Field (Optional) - If you use an address lookup field on the class form in your registration grid, you can reference the mapped address within your dashboard. Pick the Address Lookup field that best represents the location of the class.
Viewable Classes - Allows multiple responses. This will indicate the classes for which you'd like dashboards to be made available. The list of classes will populate from the values saved into the record name field on your Class form.
Default Class - Default class will determine which class's dashboard appears by default.
Name Field - Pick the field you use to track your participants' names.
Location Field - Pick the Address Lookup field that best represents the participant's address.
Display Distribution Map - Toggle on to display a distribution map for the participants of each class.
Attendance Field - Pick the field that you use to track attendance statuses like "Attended", "Tardy", "Absent", etc.
Positive Values - Pick the values that represent that a participant was present. For example, "Tardy" would generally be a positive value because it represents that the participant was present.
