What is the best way to track individual worship attendance using a Connection Card
Have a dropdown with your services listed on the card, then use the auto-register feature to count them as part of that service.
Here are the steps to do this.
- Create a group for each of your services including online ones.
- In step 1 be sure to check the radial that this group is for "Adult Worship / Youth Attendance."
- In step 3 be sure to answer the profile questions the same way for ease of reporting.
- Create a "Connection Card" group.
- To the form fields on the bottom of the registration settings page, add a "Service I'm attending" custom registration field. Be sure to set up each response to auto-register to the correct group.
- Add the keyword you want people to text to get the link to register.
Now, all you have to do is create the communication content: a slide for the screen, an ad for your bulletin, and script for an announcement. If you want to use a QR code you can do that too.
You won't get everyone to register. So, be sure to count the number of people in a service. Then even up the total attendance for the service by adding the difference between individual attendance and actual attendance in the "# of Visitors/Guests" field.
This will give you the data to run any attendance reports you need. The actual meetings page will give you a quick overview as well. Notes from the report are available here as well.
