"Recent Sessions" Screen

Your most recent sessions display right away for easy reference and will actively save as you go just in case there's an interruption in the church office.

• • • Start recording attendance by clicking '+New Session'

• • • By hovering over the specific session, you will also see a Pencil edit icon and a Trash Can delete icon for editing or deleting a previously saved attendance session.

Attendance Sidebar

The display will depend on the type of attendance for the group (Headcount, Present Only, or Present/Absent), but it can include:

• • • Family Sorting and "entire family" line
    • Easy Click or Tap 
    • Tags for Church Visitor or Group Visitor
    • Add a new person on the fly
    • Absence reasons are available when you want them, and out of the way when you don't
      • To use them, simply click the tri-dot icon that appears and select a reason.
    • Running tally and saves your selections as you go!

Filter Settings

 With these settings you can:

• • Only Show Recent "Group Members"
    • ​Turn this option on to only show Group Members who have attended in the last 2 months
  • Show Recent Visitors
    • ​Turn this option on to show your recent visitors that have been added to this group session.
  • Tag Non-Group Members
    • ​Turn this option on to include a "Group Visitor" tag next to the individual's name. This gives you a better visual queue as to who is new to the group and how to differentiate them. 
  • Toggle "Group By Family" On/Off
    • ​Turn this option off to view each individual in the group as an individual instead of as a family. 

Group Attendance Settings

Group Attendance Settings are designed to give you a more consistent attendance tracking experience.

You now have 3 ways to deal with absences:

• • You can choose Don't Mark "Absent" By Default which will allow you to choose between present or absent. If a choice is not made for an individual/family in the session, it will not count as an absence, there will simply be no record for that individual in that particular session.  Use Case: This will be your most general way to take attendance. Use this for groups where you might like to record present/absent but it is not required.  Groups like Children's Ministry Classes would be common. 
  • You can Mark All Group Members Who Aren't Present as "Absent" - This ensures each session has both presences and absences recorded. Use Case: Use this option for groups where you want more attendance control. Groups like Adult/Student Small Groups or Membership Classes.
  • If you want to focus only on the 'Present', Absences can be disabled altogether. Use Case: Use this for groups where absences are not required. This would be a common setting for your large weekly gathering where it might be most helpful (and easiest) to record people who are present as opposed to absent.
