Optional K9 Training Events
Training event creators can set each handler's attendance as optional or mandatory. Optional events let handlers decide whether they will attend, giving training groups more flexibility when scheduling.
How optional events work
When creating or editing a training event, set each handler's attendance to optional or mandatory.
Responding to an optional event invitation
Handlers invited to an optional event receive an email and notification. To respond, tap the Undecided button in the event row or use the context menu. Attendance decisions can be changed at any time using the same options.
Viewing attendance status
Open the event to see each handler's attendance status (opted in or declined). Mandatory events always show all members as attending.
