# How do I view the Online Attendance report in New Analytics?

If your course has [New Analytics](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-New-Analytics/ta-p/73) enabled, and your institution has [enabled the Online Attendance report](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-enable-the-New-Analytics-Online-Attendance-report-in-an/ta-p/478614), you can view an Online Attendance report. This report is based on criteria that has been selected by your institution. Your institution can select from the following criteria:

<div id="bkmrk-course-access%3A-stude"><div><div>- Course Access: student views a page in a course
- Posts: student posts a new comment to an announcement or a discussion
- Assignments: student submits an assignment
- Collaborations: student loads a collaboration to view/edit document
- Conferences: student joins a web conference
- Pages: student creates a page
- Quizzes: student starts taking or submits a classic quiz

</div></div></div>If a student meets the requirements of any selected criteria, they will be marked as present for that day in the Online Attendance report.

You can filter the report by student, section, date, and criteria status. You can also select which days of the week your class is in session and when students are expected to meet attendance criteria.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-cannot-view-t"><div>- If you cannot view the New Analytics link in Course Navigation, you may have to make the link visible via the [Navigation tab in Course Settings](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-Course-Navigation-links/ta-p/1020). If the New Analytics link is not available in the Navigation tab, your institution has disabled this feature.
- Data is refreshed in New Analytics every 24 hours. Please confirm the time data was last updated in the course, as content may be outdated compared to recent course activity and student submissions.
- In order for New Analytics to display in Canvas, third-party cookies may need to be enabled in your browser settings.
- The Conferences criteria only applies to BigBlueButton conferences. The Quizzes criteria only applies to Classic Quizzes.
- The New Analytics feature must be [enabled by a Canvas admin ](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-enable-the-New-Analytics-Online-Attendance-report-in-an/ta-p/478614)at your institution.
- Currently, online attendance data does not roll up at the admin level and is not available via the Canvas API. Additionally, because online attendance data is aggregated data, it does not appear in Canvas Data tables or Live Events.
