# Example: Record seminar participation

In this article, we will show you how to use *Automatic Membership* to collect the participants of a specific seminar or course type and keep the status up to date. You can then keep an eye on people in this group and plan further measures to support them.

## 1. Select group

Call up an existing group in which you would like to summarize the seminar participants or create a new group "Example seminar completed".

## 2. Call up settings for *automatic membership*

In the settings for this group, you can access the settings for automatic membership.

## 3. Set personal filter

Use the *plus symbol* to add filters to the *group membership*. You select these as follows:

## 4. Set actions

This is how you set the actions:

## 5. Activate execution

Finally, you either execute the actions you have defined once manually or you activate automatic execution, which then always runs when the *scheduled tasks* are executed.
