Marking an attendee as passed or failed

Hi All,

when marking someone as attending a seminar there is no option to mark whether they actually passed or failed the seminar. Currently if someone has failed and needs to re-attend I am removing them from the attendance list in order for them to be able to re-book and leaving a note on the removal as to why i am removing them.

i have the settings as they can only book onto one seminar of a course at one time or we get multiple bookings and wasted spaces.

it would be a lot easier if there was a second column with a drop down of passed or failed. so when marking we can mark that they attended and that they also passed or failed. then if they failed it gives them the option to re-book without having to remove them from the attendance list of the seminar they originally attended.

this occurrence can happen a lot in healthcare if they have a test at the end of a seminar such as medication training or emergency first aid as examples.

Is this kind of detail to marking being included in the road map at all or can be considered for future development?

In this situation, we use the "Partially Attended" option, to signify that they were there, but shouldn't be marked as complete for the activity.

I believe there was talk of allowing custom values (each assigned a "point" value) for attendance outcomes, but I don't know if anything has happened / will be happening about that.
