Take attendance

Record who came to a program. Attendance feeds your group's statistics and the attendance report.

Who can do this

  • Small group leaders take attendance for their own small group.
  • Master attendance takers (roles with Master Attendance, such as Committee by default) take attendance for the whole group. See Manage roles.

Open the attendance list

  1. Open your Dashboard.
  2. On the Attendance card, tap Take Attendance.
  1. Tap Manage at the bottom of the app, then the Attendance tab.
  2. You'll see the program and how many Attended. Tap the calendar icon to choose another program under Switch Program.
  3. Tap Take Attendance.

If the program needs registration, the tab is called Registration and the button Check-In Member. See Registration forms.

Mark who came

  1. Check the program and date at the top. To change them:
    • Tap the calendar-check icon to pick another program.
    • Tap the calendar icon to pick another date.
  2. Tick everyone who came. Use Search User to find someone. For the whole group, tap the funnel icon to show one small group at a time.
  3. Tap Submit Attendance and confirm with Submit Attendance.

Fella shows how many members selected. Each person shows their role: Leader, Coach, Committee or Member.

Only registered people

For a program with registration, Only Registered is on, so the list shows only people who registered. Turn it off to see everyone.

Change attendance you've submitted

Open the list again for the same program and date, change the ticks, and tap Update Attendance.

If nobody came, submit with nobody ticked. Fella asks you to confirm.

Scan QR codes instead

You can check people in by scanning the QR code on their phone.

  1. On the attendance list, tap ⋮ at the top right.
  2. Set Default Mode to QR Code.
  3. Scan each person's code and confirm their name.

Set it back to User List to tick names again. In the same menu you can change Sort By, and the Time if your group runs a program at several times.

Attendance history

On your Dashboard, tap the Attendance card to open Attendance History. Each date shows the Total and who submitted it (Last Submitted). Tap a date to change it.

Reminders and confirmation emails

  • If a small group hasn't submitted attendance after a program, its leaders get a notification: "Program Attendance Reminder".
  • When attendance is submitted, people with Attendance Confirmation on their role get an email. Your group admin chooses this in Manage roles and Attendance statistics and settings.
