Workshops
This article explains how you can create workshops in TracCloud. An advantage to workshops over batch visits is that you can track enrollment and attendance separately. You can view and report on how many students were signed up for the workshop and what percentage of them actually attended.
Access to manage workshops can be provided by going to Other > Other Options > Groups > [The group you want to update] > Admin / Modules > Add 'Workshops' under 'Table Access' > Save.
Workshops can be viewed and managed by going to Other > Other Options > Workshops.
To create a new workshop from the listing, click the hamburger menu and select New Workshop.
