The Attendance block replaces static tables with a readable, time-stamped tracking system connected to document sharing.
To add this block, type /attendance then select Attendance.

Create and configure the block

After creating the block, you will find:
  • A display options bar
  • A check-in calendar
  • Actions to add groups and contacts

Display options

The options bar (at the top of the block) lets you show or hide useful columns.
OptionUsage

PhoneClickable number (direct call on compatible devices)
AttendanceStatus present, absent, excused
Cumulative absencesAutomatic total of past absences
Invitation / summonsInvited/summoned status + optional time

StatisticsSummary row for the block

Manage check-ins over time

  • Use the arrows to navigate between check-ins
  • Click a date to view the state of that session
  • Create a new check-in for the current meeting
Even after duplicating the document, the check-in history remains accessible. This preserves cumulative absence tracking from one meeting to the next.

Organise groups

  1. Click Add a group.
  2. Give it a clear title.
  3. Add a description (example: company, address, trade).
You can then move, duplicate or delete the group from its action handle.
Add a trigram to the group name (STR, MGR, SUB) to make company selection easier in tasks.

Manage contacts

In each group, click Add a contact then fill in:
  • First and last name
  • Role / job title
  • Email
  • Phone number(s)
  • Attendance status
  • Invitation / summons status (+ time if needed)
  • Include in distribution
Each contact can be moved, duplicated or deleted via its action handle.

Document distribution

When sharing the document, you can automatically use:
  • Contacts marked for distribution
  • Or all emails found in the document
The list stays in sync with changes made to the block.

Best practices

  • Update attendance at the start of each meeting
  • Group contacts by trade or stakeholder type
  • Duplicate the previous document to maintain tracking continuity
  • Enable only the columns you need to avoid information overload
