Attendance Reports
Once you've been recording attendance for a while, the module will show you the shape of it rather than just the numbers.
The chart
Attendance is plotted over time, with three things you can change:
| Control | Options |
|---|---|
| What's counted | All, Mem (members only), or Guest (guests only) |
| Chart type | Bar or line |
| Service | A single service, or All Services together |
Comparing a single service across months is usually more revealing than looking at everything at once — Sunday morning and Wednesday evening tell you different things, and averaging them hides both.
The Guest view answers a question the total never will: are new people still coming? A steady overall figure can hide guests drying up while regular attendance holds — or the reverse, a healthy stream of visitors who never come back a second time.
Notification recipients
You can have people notified about attendance without them having to open the app and go looking.
- Tap Add recipient.
- Use Search members to find the person. If nothing matches you'll see No members found.
- Choose Email, SMS, or both.
- Save.
You'll see Recipient added successfully. You must select a member and at least one method, or you'll get Please select at least one notification method (SMS or Email).
Removing someone reports Recipient removed.
