    Posting and Editing Attendance

    This is related specifically to an issue that occurred recently where a connect host attempted to post attendance for a particular activity date and it wouldn’t allow him to select the correct date. Then for some reason they began posting the same attendance for three dates in the future which is incorrect and obviously skews any kind of reporting being done on that attendance. I had read in another post that attendance could not be edited but this definitely seems like something that should be available especially when you have a large number of people posting attendance, there are bound to be mistakes from time to time.

     

    Are there any plans to allow for editing of attendance and I would also be interested in looking into why attendance couldn’t be posted on that particular day thus causing the issue above in the first place.

    To date, I do not know of a specific project that will allow small group leaders to go back and change attendance history. You mentioned that "it wouldn’t allow him to select the correct date". This is a feature of Small Group Manager. Once attendance has been posted on a specific date that date is no longer available from Small Group Manager.

    One thing you can do though is fix attendance mistakes using the Post Attendance menu option on the Ministry tab. You can edit the list of attendees and add to it if necessary. The obvious problem is that this must be done by a Fellowship One user rather than through the Small Group Manager. It would be great to hear from other churches regarding a process for reporting attendance corrections.

    Blessings!

    We need the ability to correct errors through SGM. It's called Distributive Workload Management (DWM). We also need to eliminate the confusion created by the two date in the upper right corner. What is "reporting date" and what is "activity date."  The dates set in the schedule should be the dates presented for posting.
