# Checking Attendance as an Instructor

Marking attendance takes just a moment — directly from the lesson view in your Instructor Panel.

## How to mark attendance

Log in to the Instructor Panel, go to the ***My calendar*** tab, and click the tile of the lesson you want to open the ***E-register*** for.

Toggle the switch next to a participant's name to mark them as absent, then save your changes.

The ***Attendance*** section also includes an ***Information*** dropdown — use it to choose which participant detail to display next to each name (for example, class or group). To fill in that information for a specific participant, click their name.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.activenow.io/en/instructor-panel/checking-attendance-as-an-instructor.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
