"No Show" Attendance Option

Sara King

Could there be an option when taking event attendance for "No Show" in addition to "Attended"? I'd like a way to track repeated no-shows and distinguish them from cancellations (people who do text or call to let us know they aren't coming).

I think we can already derive no-shows without a new button by taking everyone who RSVP'd yes and doesn't have an attendance record for an event session where attendance was taken.

Am I missing something in that formulation? And assuming we can derive the the no-shows, how would you like to use it within ST?

I think this would maybe be better suited for a custom property (i do a similar thing that way) — having two different types of ways of showing someone didn’t attend would likely be used very inconsistently in distributed field programs

Genevieve Rand I'd like this to available from Host Tools. Two click boxes, Attended and No Show.

Not sure how this could be managed via Custom Properties without a bunch of other steps but open to hearing how you do it.
