Attendance override options
When a student can't check in due to past-due payments, attendance limits, or a full class, staff can override these blocks from admin mode — if the relevant override is enabled.
To set which overrides are allowed:
-
Go to Attendance > Settings > General Settings.
-
Under Override Options in Kiosk Mode, select which restrictions can be overridden.
Customize portal color
- Go to Attendance > Settings.
- Scroll to the bottom and choose a color to match your studio's branding.

Settings for showing specific students
To access the settings for showing specific groups of students:
- Login to V2.
- Go to the attendance settings section.
- Scroll to name search settings.
- Choose to hide or show the participant list in the attendance portal. Hiding the list means student names will have to be typed.
- Save.

Differences between name search settings
Show all participants: will show all participant names regardless of class registration or active memberships or trials.
Show only participants who have registered for class: will show only participants who registered for the selected class prior to entering the attendance portal.
Show only participants in active memberships and trials: will show only participants who have active memberships or trials. Please note that custom statuses for trials still count as a member being "active." Change their status to "enrolled," "cancelled," or "did not start" to remove that registration from the attendance list.
Show only participants who fit the registration eligibility for a class: will show only participants who are in one of the memberships or trials allowed to register for the class. This setting is determined in the V1 services and products class creation under registration restrictions.
What is a drop-in class?
In the attendance portal, a drop-in class is simply an attendance by time. It still counts towards the membership or trial attendance limits and rank requirements, but does not associate with a specific class.
Note: you can turn off the drop-in class option entirely in the V2 attendance portal general settings.

How to take attendance for drop in classes in the V2 attendance portal
To utilize drop-in check in from the V2 attendance portal:
- Open the V2 attendance portal.
- Choose “drop-in class/appointment” from the class list.
- Choose the check in method.

Note: you can turn off the drop-in class option entirely in the V2 attendance portal general settings.

Showing or not showing specific participant information in the V2 attendance portal
You can choose which student information displays in the V2 attendance portal. To decide this setting:
- Login to V2.
- Go to the attendance > settings section.
- Go to general settings.
- Select or deselect which pieces of information to display in the portal.
- Make sure to save at the bottom of the page.

Attendance override options
Sometimes, students will be unable to check-in for a class because of attendance limits, past due payments, or full class capacity. You can choose whether your staff can override these limitations and check-in the student anyway from the attendance portal admin mode. To select which overrides are allowed:
- Login to V2.
- Go to attendance > settings.
- Go to the general settings.
- Under the “override options in kiosk mode” subsection, select which options can be overridden for attendance.

Customization options
You can choose a color most similar to your marketing color. To do this:
- Login to V2.

- Scroll to the bottom of the settings and choose a color.
- Don’t forget to save.
