· Use the Duration field to view the amount of time that the user spent in a session.
Note: The duration is manually recorded by the administrator on the Attendance Marking screen.

· At the bottom of the screen, use the drop-down lists to specify the date when the user completed all of the selected courses.
The date defaults to the current date, and the last available year changes dynamically to show 15 years in the future based on the current year.
