Taking attendance

Check people off on any device, live, during the event.

Attendance is taken on each event's Attendance tab. Viewing requires the View attendance permission; checking people off requires Manage attendance. Many churches give greeters a dedicated role with just these; see Roles and permissions.

During the event

  1. Open the event and go to the Attendance tab (the actions menu on the events list jumps straight there).
  2. Tap names to check people off. Present people turn green. Use the search box to find someone quickly.
  3. Tap the add person icon to create a contact on the spot for a first-time visitor you want in your list.
  4. Tap the group icon to record a guest count for visitors you are not adding as contacts.
  5. On a tablet at the door, use the fullscreen icon for a large, fast checklist.

Attendance is live: when another greeter marks someone present on their device, you see it immediately.

Preloaded lists

If the event's type has Preload Attendance turned on, the list starts with everyone who attended recent events of the same type, and you uncheck the absentees instead of building the list by hand. See Event types and date masks.

After the event

Attendance feeds the reports: the per-person matrix, trends over time, per-event sheets, and missed-attendance follow-up. Start at the reports overview.
