SEATS

SEATS

SEATS is an online tool for tracking event attendance via card reader or manual entry. Once you create an event in SEATS, you can give permission to anyone with a UT EID to log in and take attendance, which is tracked using cardswipes or manual EID type in. 

Joining To join the Sanger group in SEATS, email the SLC Director with a list of names and eids.

4. When you find your event listed below, look to the right of the screen, in the 2nd to last column for the text link, "View" (see below in red). Click the link.
   
5. On the Event's page, then look for the text link, "Edit".
