# Events Attended

A Contact record's **Events Attended** field allows Event Organizers to track how many times Contacts or Leads have attended their Events. The field displays the total count of attended Events for an Attendee when their **Attendance Status** was set to "Attended."

## Functionality

When an Attendee record is created in Salesforce, the duplication logic links the Attendee to a related Contact or Lead.

The Contact or Lead’s **Events Attended** field will then show the number of times the Attendee’s **Attendance Status** was set to “Attended" or the number of Events the Attendee attended.

The Attendee object also includes the **Events Attended** formula field, which shows the total count of attended Events for that related Contact or Lead that will be referenced in the future by the AttendeeLink.

## Setup

1. Add the **Events Attended** field to the Contact and/or Lead objects' page layouts.

2. Go to the Blackthorn | Events Admin tab.
3. Click the Scheduled Jobs tab.
4. The **Blackthorn | Events Attendee Parent Rollup** scheduled job can be triggered in one of two ways. [Click here](https://docs.blackthorn.io/docs/scheduled-batch-jobs-events#blackthorn-events-attendee-parent-rollup) for more information about the scheduled job.
  - Click the **Schedule Recommended Event Jobs** button to use a chunk size of 50,000 records.
  - Click the **Schedule Attendee Parent Rollup Job** button to select a chunk size.

## Attendees Who Don't Attend an Event

Most Events have registered Attendees who don't attend the Event.

To ensure the **Attendance Status** for those Attendees is automatically updated to "No Show," set the Event Settings **Auto-update Attendance to No Show** field to "Yes" and use the Blackthorn | Events Process No-Show Atendees scheduled job.
