Use the Register Usage Codes reference data to manage the values that are used by staff to mark registers. There are three different mark types that hold usage codes:

• Learner
• Staff
• Room

The Learner mark type differs slightly from that of the Room and Staff types.

Room and Staff mark types are the same except they do not have a Positive Attendance or a Positive for EMA fields but are not relevant to users of ebs: ontrack Hub.

When you mark a register, the staff and rooms associated with it will be automatically marked with the default positive mark for them. This can then be edited in ebs: shape after if necessary.

The fields on the Register Usage Codes screen for learners are described in the following table.

This field	Holds this information...
Usage Code	The usage code used when marking a learner's attendance.
Alternate Key	The alternate key that can be used for the usage code. This functionality is not applicable to ebs: ontrack Hub.
Description	The description of the usage code.
Positive Attendance?	Whether the usage code is positive or not. Select from the following options for this field: Positive Neutral Negative
Default Positive	Whether this is the default positive mark. This usage code will be applied when using the one-click marking in ebs: ontrack Hub.

Active	Whether the usage code is active or not.
