# Group Attendance

If you would like to keep track of attendance this can be done manually via Groups and **Manual Attendance Tracking**, as described below.

### Reporting on Attendance

Once you have manually entered all your Group Attendance, you can review this information in three ways:

1. View the **Groups** > **Attendance** - the same place as you add and manage the Attendance as above
2. You can generate an [Attendance Report](https://help.infoodle.com/docs/reporting-an-events-details)
3. You can go to a specific individual's profile

To view the attendance for a specific individual:

1. Navigate to their profile
2. Click the Settings Cog Icon next to their name
3. Select **Events Attended**

This will then show you a breakdown of the Events this individual as attended specifically:
