Names down the side
Paste the roster once. The sheet lists it in order and adds blank rows for late joiners, so you are not writing names by hand on the day.
A column per session
Up to fourteen sessions or days across the top, each with a tick box. Label them Day 1, Morning, Module 3, whatever the programme calls them.
Landscape when the programme is long
Six or more sessions read better in landscape. The header repeats on every page, so a long roster stays legible.
An attendance sheet tracks the same people across several sessions.
A sign-in sheet is for one door on one day. An attendance sheet is for a course, a training batch or a weekly meeting: the names stay fixed and each session gets a column. Paper fails in the usual ways: ticks in the wrong row, a sheet lost between sessions, and a manual count at the end.
What should an attendance sheet include?+
The names, one column per session or day, and a place for remarks. Add a signature column if attendance has to be attested, for example for funded training.
Is this attendance sheet template free?+
Yes. No account, no email address, nothing stored. It runs in your browser and prints from it.
How do I save it as a PDF?+
Click Save as PDF. Your browser's print dialog opens; choose Save as PDF as the destination.
How many sessions can I add?+
Up to fourteen. Beyond six, switch to landscape so the tick boxes stay large enough to mark by hand.
Can I pre-fill the names?+
Yes. Paste one name per line. They print in that order, followed by any blank rows you set for late additions.
Can I use it as a sign-in sheet for a single event?+
Yes. Switch the sheet type to Sign-in sheet, or open the sign-in sheet template directly. It gives one line per person with signature and time columns.
How do I turn the ticks into a report?+
By hand, session by session. If the programme runs more than a few sessions, session-level QR scanning gives you attendance per person and per session without the counting.
