Review the Scheme, the default is **System Scheme**, to create a new scheme see  *Creating an Attendance Scheme*.

*Optionally*, enter a percentage in the **Cause for Concern** field (for example, 80) to highlight students below the target level.

Note that "**Allow users to view this attendance register"** is selected, allowing students to view their attendance. And keep **"Include all users in the course"** selected.

We recommend selecting all users, then filter by class group when you record attendance. See *Recording Attendance* for details.
