In some jurisdictions, there is a requirement to log the number of schooling hours that take place in the homeschool vs. those that occur elsewhere, such as a Co-op, vocational school, tutor, etc. If you need to maintain these records, the Assignment Location field, along with the Time Spent or Sessions field can help you log the information, and document it using the Home/Away report. You must have the Assignment Location field and either Time Spent or Sessions enabled in order to utilize this report.
