MARK COURSE AS COMPLETE - If you will be showing any courses, or presenting similar information to a specific course, you can search for the course title (click on the name when it appears in the search to add it). Once you finalize attendance, the participants will be credited for taking that course. In your reports, the course will display as complete, and the test results (if applicable) will display as N/A. If you would like the participants to go in after the Live Event and do the test on their own, you would uncheck the checkbox for the test, so when the staff member logs into their account, they can see they met the course requirement, but they still need to take the test. If you are not showing courses, leave this blank.
MARK SKILL AS COMPLETE - If you would like to associate achieving a skill or a certification by attending this event, search for the skill name and click the skill to add it. Participants will not be credited for this skill until the attendance is finalized.
Room Size – This number is defaulted to 100. If you are leaving registration open for people to sign up for a session of interest, you can change the room size so you don’t have too many people arriving to the session if the room only holds amount of people.

If you would like to add another session, from your Live Events main page, click on the ADD NEW INSTANCE icon. This will allow you to create another session for a future date. Reminder to select OPEN invitation. Repeat these steps for as many sessions as you would like to book.
Once you have created all of your sessions, if you would like to assign the Live Event as a required training click on the calendar icon 
to assign it.
When a staff member has been invited to a Live Event that is open, and not required/mandatory, in My Courses at the bottom of the page they will see the event and a button to sign up.
If multiple sessions have been scheduled and assigned as required, it will appear just like any other course that is assigned in My Courses. The title will display under the category called LIVE EVENT.
The staff would click on the course title to see the scheduled sessions, and can click SIGN UP for the one they plan to attend.
COMPLETING THE EVENT
Click on the pencil icon 
on your main Live Event page
Click on the PRESENT NOW icon 
You will not be able to finalize the session on a date prior to the scheduled session. So if the event is scheduled for March 8th, I cannot mark it as completed early.
