# Take attendance in Day View

Google Cloud narration; real DSM Next Demo Studio browser footage.

Take attendance for the right class, on the right date. Here's a quick walkthrough in Dance Studio Manager.

Open Calendar from the left menu. Choose Month view so you can see the dates. Here, we're using September twenty-third. Select the date number to open Day View. Check the class, time, and instructor, then expand the roster.

This studio uses Present, Late, and Absent. Your options depend on your studio's attendance settings, so follow the labels shown in your roster.

Find the student, then choose Present from their status control. The change saves immediately. There is no separate Save button.

For a student who arrived late, choose Late. Review each name before changing its status.

Reopen the same date and class to confirm the result. Here, Dakota is Present and Logan is Late.

Attendance can affect package usage and configured notifications. Cancellation and no-show rules can also affect charges. Follow your studio's policy.

Check the date. Mark each student. Verify the saved roster. That's your attendance routine.
