# Manage attendance

After your class, you can mark which students attended and add any walk-in customers who joined without a booking.

## Open the attendance drawer

1. Go to **Schedule** in your teacher dashboard
2. Find the class you want to update
3. Click the **attendee count button** (e.g., "5 students")

The attendance drawer opens showing all booked students.

## Mark attendance

For each student, you can set their attendance status:

1. Find the student in the list
2. Click the status dropdown or button next to their name
3. Select one of:
   - **Attended**: Student came to class
   - **No-show**: Student didn't show up
   - **Pending**: Not yet recorded (default)

Changes save automatically.

## Add a walk-in customer

If someone attends without a prior booking:

1. Open the attendance drawer for your class
2. Click **Add walk-in** at the bottom
3. Enter the customer's details:
   - Name (required)
   - Email (optional)
   - Phone (optional)
4. Click **Save**

Walk-in customers appear in the attendance list marked as walk-ins.

## When to mark attendance

- Mark attendance during or immediately after class while it's fresh
- You can update attendance for past classes if needed
- Accurate attendance helps with studio reporting and your pay calculations

## Why attendance matters

Your studio may use attendance data to:
- Calculate your pay (some pay models are based on attendance)
- Track class popularity and retention
- Send follow-up communications to students

Keeping attendance records accurate benefits both you and the studio.
