How to stop or temporarily stop attendance reminder emails

You can pause Attendance Reminder Emails while a group is temporarily not meeting or stop them altogether.

There are a couple of ways to delay or pause the attendance reminder emails, depending on the length of time your Group is paused from meeting:  

Your Group is not meeting for a brief period:

If your Group is only delaying or sitting out one or two weeks, go to the Group, click the blue Reports button located just above the roster, then Meetings. Open the most recent Meeting Report by clicking the date link.  Revise the "Next meeting date" to the new/later meeting date and scroll to the bottom of the report to click Send/Save Report.   **Consider unchecking "Copy email to entire group" before clicking Send/Save so that the report does not go out to all group members.

Your Group is not meeting for an extended period:

If your Group is set to be out for an extended period of time, ie. Summer, and the resume date is uncertain, first, go to the Group page. Click the blue Edit button, then Group Information. On this page, uncheck "Send report reminder emails" so that those will not be sent to the Group Leader for just this Group. Be sure to go back to the Group Information page and turn this setting back on by re-checking the "Send report reminder emails" box when the Group resumes meeting.

Turning off the Attendance Reminder Emails

You will need to recheck it when you want the email reminders to resume.  The advantage of this option is that you don't have to make changes group by group.  You can do it all at once. 

*If you have just one group that does want the reminders, use one of the above-mentioned methods, as this will shut them ALL off.

*The monthly health reports are run on the Monday night after the first Sunday of the following month.  If email reminders are turned off for a group,  that group will not show up on the report.
