View Progress button missing from modules

Some of my courses have a "View Progress" button at the top of the modules page, so I can click on students' names and see where they're at in the course. It's even in my sandbox course that has no students. However, other courses don't have this button.

There's probably something different in the settings, but I can't figure out what. Any thoughts?

Hi @DSSCC -- I jumped into a couple of courses here in my district and here is what I think I have figured out.

You mentioned you saw it in some courses that had no students -- I had a course with no students and didn't see the "View Progress" button -- BUT then I went to the Home Page and click the "View as Student" button, which created the "Test Student." Now I can see the "View Progress" button in Modules (even if there are no other users enrolled)
