# Set Up Attendance

### Activating Attendance

#### Quick Schedule

Click the checkbox beside "Take Attendance" to activate attendance using Quick Schedule. If this checkbox shows a green checkmark, every piece of content scheduled using Quick Schedule will have attendance enabled.

The option to present comprehension questions during attendance logging appears when attendance is enabled. Click the checkbox beside "Attendance" in the Comprehension Question section to enable this feature. If this checkbox shows a green checkmark, every piece of content that includes comprehension questions scheduled using Quick Schedule will present comprehension questions during the attendance logging session.

See the [Quick Schedule](/how-do-i.../schedule-content/scheduling-options.md) guide for detailed instructions.

#### Advanced Scheduling/Send Now

When scheduling using Advanced Scheduling or Send Now, attendance options appear when setting Content Options.

To activate attendance in Content Options, click the checkbox beside "Take Attendance". If this checkbox shows a green checkmark, attendance is enabled for the content being scheduled.

If the content being scheduled includes comprehension questions, the option to present comprehension questions during attendance logging appears when attendance is enabled. Click the checkbox beside "Attendance" in the Comprehension Question section to enable this feature. The comprehension questions will be presented during the attendance logging session if this checkbox shows a green checkmark.

See the [Take Attendance](/how-do-i.../schedule-content/content-options.md#take-attendance) and [Use Quiz Associated with this Content](/how-do-i.../schedule-content/content-options.md#use-the-quiz-associated-with-this-content) section of the Content Options guide for detailed instructions.

### Attendance Eligibility

Only Team Members with the " Employee " role are eligible to log attendance. modONE further determines the Team Members eligible to log attendance based on the Location and Job selected when setting the Recipient Filter (see the [Recipient Filter](/common-features/work-with-recipient-filters.md) guide for more information on setting filters). For example:

#### No Recipient Filter Set

If no Recipient Filter is set (i.e., the content is sent to all Team Members), modONE will allow all Team Members with the role of Employee to log their attendance associated with the given piece of content.

#### Recipient Filter Set: Dallas and Jacksonville Locations

The content is sent to all Team Members in the Dallas and Jacksonville locations). modONE will allow Team Members associated with the Dallas and Jacksonville locations with the role of Employee to log their attendance associated with the given piece of content.

#### Recipient Filter Set: Dallas and Jacksonville Locations, Machinist Job

The content is sent to all Team Members in the Dallas and Jacksonville locations with the job of Machinist). modONE will allow Team Members associated with the Dallas and Jacksonville locations with the job of Machinist and the role of Employee to log their attendance associated with the given piece of content.

### Attendance Constraints

If more than one piece of content with attendance activated is scheduled in the same time period, the **scope of recipients cannot overlap**. When scheduling content, modONE checks to ensure there are no overlaps. If an overlap is detected, the content is suspended until the issue is resolved. See [Validate and Schedule Content](/how-do-i.../schedule-content/content-options.md#validate-and-schedule-content) in the Content Options guide for detailed instructions.

{% hint style="info" %}
This recipient scope constraint only applies to content with attendance activated. Scheduling multiple pieces of content with attendance inactive in the same time period is not subject to the same validation rules.
{% endhint %}

### Common questions

**I don't see the Administer Attendance button.** Some admin features appear only with the right permissions. Log out, refresh, and log back in. If it's still missing, contact your Account Owner or support.

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
