Take small group attendance

Group just wrapped and you'd like to mark who came before you head home. Open the group on your phone, tick the people who were there, add any visitors, and it's recorded. The group's card then shows the date it last met.

Before you start: You need a role that can edit Manage. A group with no members yet can still record a meeting: count the visitors and save.

Good to know

  • Quicker still, tell the chat: “Tuesday Men's Study met tonight, everyone but David Kim, plus 2 visitors”. Say the day it met; the reply confirms the date and how many were there. If a name could be more than one person, it asks for the full name before recording anything.
  • Got it wrong? Record the same date again. What you save replaces what was saved for that day, so it never counts twice.
  • Deleting a group deletes its attendance history too. Its people stay in your directory.

If it’s not working

There's no Record attendance button

Your role can only view Manage. Ask your church's account owner for a role that can edit it.

Someone who comes every week is on my “hasn't been in a while” list

Those lists go by check-ins. Group attendance is kept with the group, so it doesn't count as a check-in.

The chat says the group “has no members yet”

Attendance is taken from the group's members. Add them on Groups with + Add people…, then tell the chat again.

It says “That didn't save — try again.”

The attendance didn't go through that time. Your ticks are still there, so tap Save attendance again.
