To add the 'Program Fit' column to your view, click the button with **three dots** in the top right corner of the Resident Attendance list and ensure 'Program Fit' is selected.![Screenshot 2026-06-10 at 10.46.00 AM](https://knowledge.welbi.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-06-10%20at%2010.46.00%20AM.png?width=670&height=211&name=Screenshot%202026-06-10%20at%2010.46.00%20AM.png) Then, click on the **arrows** at the top of this column to sort your resident list based on likelihood to attend. ![Screenshot 2026-06-10 at 10.47.17 AM](https://knowledge.welbi.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-06-10%20at%2010.47.17%20AM.png?width=194&height=200&name=Screenshot%202026-06-10%20at%2010.47.17%20AM.png) Residents who are the strongest match for the program will appear at the top with an **Excellent fit** badge, followed by residents with **Good fit**, **Possible fit**, **Limited fit**, and **Unlikely fit** ratings. ![Screenshot 2026-06-10 at 10.06.08 AM](https://knowledge.welbi.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-06-10%20at%2010.06.08%20AM.png?width=326&height=270&name=Screenshot%202026-06-10%20at%2010.06.08%20AM.png) With the residents who are the best fit for the program now at the top of your list, you can spend less time searching and sorting and get straight to logging engagement. [Click here](https://knowledge.welbi.co/kb/searching-sorting-and-adding-columns-to-your-resident-attendance-list?hsLang=en)to learn more about sorting your resident attendance list to suit your needs. ### Filter by Home Area or Level of Care If the program you're taking attendance for was run for a specific home area or level of care,  you can narrow down your attendance list using the **filter** shown below.  ![](https://knowledge.welbi.co/hubfs/image-png-Mar-14-2023-09-05-56-9593-PM.png) Once you've made your selection, your attendance list will only show residents matching your chosen home areas or levels of care, meaning you don't have to search or sort through residents that are not relevant to the program at hand.  ### Search for Specific Residents If you had only a handful of residents in attendance, the quickest way to enter their engagement may be search for them by name (rather than scrolling through your attendance list). You can do this by typing in the search bar shown below.![](https://knowledge.welbi.co/hubfs/fXd6BcLeaA-gif.gif) ### Log Engagement for Multiple Residents at Once You can batch update engagement level for many residents at once by clicking on the **checkbox icon** in the top right corner of the Resident Attendance panel. ![](https://knowledge.welbi.co/hubfs/image-png-Feb-22-2023-12-41-55-6621-AM.png) Once clicked, checkboxes will appear to the left of each resident's name in your attendance list. Use these checkboxes to select the residents you wish to log an engagement level for, and then select the engagement level you wish to log for all selected residents using the options shown near the top of the list. ![](https://knowledge.welbi.co/hubfs/image-png-Apr-13-2023-01-45-04-3087-PM.png) If you have a large event where almost all of your residents attended, click the **Select all residents** button at the top of the list. This will select all of your residents, and you can simply deselect the few for whom you do not wish to set an engagement level. ![](https://knowledge.welbi.co/hubfs/IsHlRz3Lvr-gif.gif) If you've previously filtered your attendance list by home area or level of care, these filters will be respected when you click **Select all residents**. For example, if you filtered your resident list to only show Memory Care resident, only those residents will be selected when you click **Select all residents**. Additionally, residents with a [status](https://7002933.hs-sites.com/knowledge/recording-a-residents-status?__hstc=116893785.d5c808720f72210424da5911478604a4.1665595886067.1681321166455.1681391942540.81&__hssc=116893785.6.1681391942540&__hsfp=3000179024&hsLang=en) other than "Here" (i.e., LOA, Hospital, or Isolation) will **not** be selected when you click **Select all residents.** -
