# Signing a Participant Up for a Makeup Class

A client wants to make up a lesson they missed? The easiest option is for them to [find a suitable slot themselves in the Client Panel](/en/client-panel/reporting-absence.md).

If the date was agreed individually or the client can't sign up on their own, you can record it in the system yourself. ActiveNow lets you do this in two ways.

## From the calendar

Select the lesson and click *Lesson details*. Find the *Making up absences* section, type the participant's name, and click *+Add*.

## From the participant's profile

Go to the *Participants* tab and open the participant's profile. Find the *Making up absences* section, click *Find a reclaiming date*, then click *Sign up for reclaiming* next to the lesson you want to add them to.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.activenow.io/en/absences-and-makeup-classes/adding-client-to-makeup-class.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
