For some events, you may only need to record the number of people who attended, not the actual attendee names.
For example, a dinner, auction, or community event would not necessarily require specific names of attendees, only the head count.
For these situations, users will enter in a number on the attendance batch entry screen instead of selecting people and households.
To enter in a head count only to an event,
1. Click the icon to go to Events and go to the Attendance view.
2. Click the "Enter Attendance" button.
3. On the right hand side of the screen, find and select the event and date to enter attendance for.
4. Near the top right of the screen, check the box "I would like to enter just a count for this event". This will gray out the person selections and leave only a number field in the lower right corner.
5. Enter in the total headcount for the event and click "Save".
Note: You can still select individuals or households as having attended and then check the count only box to enter just a count. Doing this will still save who attended the event, in case you need to review who attended, but will only display the number of attendees in the attendance records.
