Administrators who wish to record attendance in Blanchard Exchange and/or use conditional rules based on the successful completion of live events by individual learners can do so by recording attendance and completion when using moderated events in their courses.
To record completion, first ensure that the project’s course is using the moderated event type for all events that require completion statuses to be manually set by an administrator. See here for more information.

To set completion/attendance:
Select the project’s Events tab.
Locate the appropriate event.
Select the listed total under Participants (Figure 1-1)
- Select the checkboxes next to the appropriate learners, then select Change Status* (Figure 1-2)
- Locate the Results drop-down, and select the appropriate status (Figure 1-3):
Passed: Indicates successful completion of the event and/or attendance. This status sets the event’s reporting status to Completed/Passed on project-level reports.
Failed: Indicates that the selected learners did not successfully complete the event and/or did not attend. This status sets the event’s reporting status to Completed/Failed on project-level reports.
*The Change Status options also include the following fields:
Invitations: This field is generally used when calendar invitations are sent from Blanchard Exchange and is set independently by each learner based on their response to the calendar invitation. This assumes the learner sends their response back to Blanchard Exchange. The administrator can override this response within Blanchard Exchange. Note that this does not override the learner’s original response on their personal calendar.
Attendance: Attendance can be set as an independent field; however, it does not currently appear on reports and cannot be used with course builder rules. For both reporting and rule-based purposes, using the Results drop-down is recommended.
