2. Check that “Show Online” or “Show Custom” was not changed
Sometimes the “Show Online” or “Show Custom” Meeting Attendance buttons will be ticked and figures entered, but then someone will either deliberately or accidently “Untick” them.
In this case, the “Online” or “Custom” figures will not be deleted, and will continue to affect your Totals and Averages.
To check, re-tick “Show Online” or “Show Custom” and see if any numbers have been entered.
