# Managing the E-register

ActiveNow gives you a straightforward way to track participant progress and record it in the system. You can enter grades and progress notes — and participants are notified of every update so they can follow their own achievements in the Client Panel.

## Where to find the E-register

To view the E-register for a course, open the course details and switch to the *E-register* tab. There you will find:

* **Lessons history** — attendance, topics, homework
* **Grades** — grades awarded for individual activities
* **Progress notes** — descriptive assessments, feedback, and remarks

## How to add a grade

In the E-register, click *New grade* in the grades section. Enter a comment (for example, *Quiz*), then fill in grades for all applicable participants.

Added grades appear in the combined grades list and **participants receive a notification**, seeing their grades in the Client Panel.

Use the filter to display all grades with a **specific comment**.

Click *Details* next to a participant to view all their grades — and to **edit** or **delete** any of them.

## How to describe a participant's progress

To add remarks, praise, or any other note about a participant's progress, first configure the relevant custom field.

Go to *Settings* → *General* → *Custom fields settings* → *Additional participant-related fields*. Create the field you need — for example *Progress description*, *Descriptive assessment*, or *Remarks* — choose its type, and set whether participants and instructors can view or edit it.

After saving, the field appears directly on the participant's profile under *General* → *Custom fields*, where you can edit its value. If the field is visible to participants, they will find it in the Client Panel under *My personal details*.

If the field is also visible and editable for instructors, it will appear in the instructor's E-register. Open any lesson, go to the *Clients' details* section, and click the *Information* button next to a participant to view and update all their custom fields. Use the *Displayed information* filter to choose which field is shown inline in the participant list.

If a participant needs to achieve specific goals and earn defined skills at their level, use the **Skills** feature described in a separate article. Once configured, Skills are also available in the E-register view.

## Giving receptionist access to the E-register

To allow a receptionist to view the E-register, go to *Settings* → *User permissions*, click *Edit* next to the receptionist, and grant them:

* **View E-register** — access to the *E-register* tab in course details
* **Modify E-register** — ability to also enter grades
