Classes, exhibitions, tours: these are all Aeon activities. Aeon funnels to RTL Core Data, so when you log your activity, you can report attendance numbers right in the application rather than toggling back and forth between Aeon and RTL Core Data. Please don't report one task in both places as this would be redundant. 

To set up a new activity in Aeon, follow these steps:

1. In the New pane of the ribbon, click on Activity. 
2. Enter the details of the activity. For a class, please include the instructor and course number.
3. Save the activity. 
4. Affiliate users with the activity and send the confirmation message from Aeon to any instructors added, editing as needed. 

When an activity has ended, close the activity by following these steps:

1. Make sure you checked out the material to the activity before routing to reshelving. This is important for maintaining accurate statistics.
2. Enter the attendance for each session by date at the bottom of the class in Aeon (under "Attendance Tracking"). If there was more than one session on a particular date, enter subsequent dates for each session (there is a bug that does not allow more than one session per day: this is a workaround).
3. Uncheck the "Active" box for the activity and save.
4. After updating the routing in Aeon, return the materials to the shelves and to HD as outlined in Returning items, above.
