### Understanding Attendance Type

There are two attendance types you can choose from in IceHrm and they are:

1.  Sign Up
2.  Assign

#### Sign Up

In the above example, we have defined the **Attendance Type** as **Sign Up**. When the attendance type is sign up, employees will have to login to their accounts, go to the training module and sign up for the training sessions.

#### Assign

When the **Attendance Type** of a training session is **Assign**, the admin will have the right to assign training sessions to employees by going to **Manage -> Training -> Employee** Training Sessions.  
*This feature is useful if the training sessions are compulsory because if the training session is Sign Up employees have the choice of not signing up for a particular training session.*
