If your participants use mobile devices to check in, you can take attendance with PointSolutions Web. Once you close attendance, you can make adjustments to each record as needed. You can export your course's attendance results to view and edit them in Excel.

A VPN is not recommended for participants or instructors during polling and / or attendance sessions. The VPN could potentially report a different location than what the user is in, preventing them from checking in to the attendance.
