Accessing the Feature

Dashboard menu open with Digital Signatures highlighted

  1. Navigate to your Dashboard.
  2. Click the dashboard menu in the top right.
  3. Select Digital Signatures from the list.

Filtering Participants

The top of the page has filters and a search bar. These tools help you quickly find the participants you are looking for.

Digital Signatures page with the Location, Activity, Session, Age, Grade, Group, Date, and Name filters highlighted

Filters: Narrow down by location, activity, session, group, date, and more. Updating one filter refines the options available in the other filters. This tool allows you to mark attendance for a single day at a time. Ensure you have selected the correct date before marking attendance. You can mark attendance for past or current sessions, but not for future sessions.

Name filter highlighted below the Group and Date filters

Searching: Use the search bar to find participants by name. Results update dynamically as you type, so typing just a few letters finds the participant you are looking for.

Enrolled participant list with the Sort By dropdown open on First Name and Last Name

Sorting: The list is sorted by first name by default. Use the sort dropdown to change the sorting and to view the list by last name.

Participant list with the quick filter dropdown open on All, Signed, and Not Signed

Quick Filter: To quickly view who does not have a signature, use the dropdown menu at the top of the list. This lets you view participants who are signed, those who are not signed, or select All to view your full list.

Participant Information

If you need to make any corrections, edit the time recorded or remove the signature from the participant details.

Signing Digitally

Add Signature window listing the staff member and parent who can sign for a participant

You can sign digitally by clicking + Signature in the list. Then click their name to add a signature, and they can sign directly on the device. The signature is recorded along with the date and time.

You can also mark attendance from the participant information.

Attendance Reports

Daily Digital Signatures

Daily Digital Signatures report with filters and a signature column, selected in the Attendance Reports menu

ActivityHero provides helpful reports to review your signatures like the Daily Digital Signatures report. This report shows the participant attendance history for a single day. You can find this in Registrations & Payments > Registration Reports. The left-hand menu has a category for Attendance Reports.

You can also use filters to find specific data. The report includes session details, participant information, signature, and timestamps.

Filters work similarly to the filters in the Digital Signatures tool. Note: Pay special attention to the Meeting Date filter so you are reviewing the data for the date you expect. 

Monthly Digital Attendance Report

The Monthly Digital Attendance Report gives you an overview of signatures for a selected date range. As in other reports, selecting the filters narrows down the data that is displayed. The filters work similarly to the Daily Digital Signatures report. 

Note: Pay close attention to the Meeting Date Range to ensure you are viewing the dates you expect. 

The report shows participant information and marked attendance for each date: displaying a "P" for present, an "A" for absent, and gray squares for days the session did not meet.
