Attendance Analytics - Checking-out Check-in - NextGen

While there are a number of ways to access attendance data using Data Views and SQL reports, Rock also provides powerful analytics capabilities that you can access from Tools Reporting Attendance Analytics. This powerful tool should be able to answer any question you throw at it. Let's see what's possible. This block operates in two modes: Chart and Attendees. Chart Mode When in chart mode, the analytics block will report back the count of the attendees who match the criteria you've provided. This is great when you're looking for numbers for a specific weekend or viewing attendance over time. Chart Mode 1 Attendance Area The first step is to select the kind of attendance that you'd like to report. Most often you'll probably be interested in check-in data, so select Weekly Service Check-in. 2 Date Range The most important criterion you will provide is the date range. This date range picker is very powerful and allows you to select many different types of date ranges. To help reduce confusion, the label above it shows the exact dates that are currently being used for the filter. 3 Group By Setting This determines how the attendance data should be grouped for the graph. Typically, this will be by week, but you may want to get a monthly or yearly graph too. 4 Schedules Use this dropdown menu if you want to filter by specific schedules, such as only Sunday morning services. Select multiple times or events by clicking on them. Leave it...

Themes (needs update) - Checking-out Check-in - NextGen

Rock ships with several different check-in themes. Use these themes to give your check-in process the look and feel that best fits the event you're hosting. Some might be more friendly for children, while others might be better for adults. You can change themes as often as you need to, which is great because we're always adding more! Rock Check-in Themes Change That Logo The Rock logo on some themes isn't there to promote Rock. It's there as a placeholder, giving you the option to add your own logo with one simple file change. There are two ways to activate a theme: You can select the theme to use during each check-in session on the check-in admin page that is displayed when you first start the check-in process at http://[your-rock-server]/checkin. You can temporarily change the theme by appending ?theme=themename in the address of your browser on a check-in page. This is a good solution when you'd like to support multiple check-in themes with a simple configuration. Working with the Aero Theme You can use the Theme Styler to customize any of Rock’s check-in themes. However, the Aero theme takes this to the next level. With just a few clicks you can quickly and easily transform your check-in look and feel. Pictured below is the Aero theme’s welcome screen as it ships with Rock. Aero Theme Welcome Screen Let’s look at the configuration for the Aero theme to see some of the options you have for making changes. You can get...

Additional Check-In Options - Checking-out Check-in - NextGen

While Rock ships with the check-in configurations we’ve found to be best practice for most organizations, there may be times when you need a different check-in procedure, such as checking in groups by birthdates or manually checking individuals out of events. Let’s look at the additional check-in options available. Configuring by Birthdate Configuring check-in by age range means less work for you when it comes to managing groups. Students simply move up into the next age group or grade without you having to update group names. There may be situations, though, where you want to check in groups by birthdate range, such as when you want to keep a group of children together as they get older. While this configuration allows groups to move together, it will require the group names to be continually updated as the grade level of the group changes. Birthdate Range To configure check-in groups by birthdate range, follow these steps: Go to Admin Tools Check-in Check-in Configuration Select the configuration you want to modify. In the Areas and Groups section, click the Area of the group you want to modify. Rock displays the check-in options for that area. From the Inherit from dropdown menu, select either Check in by Age or Check in by Grade. Either option will display the birthdate range option in the group. Click Save. In the Areas and Groups section, click the group you’re modifying. The birthdate range option will now be displayed in the Check-In section. Select the beginning and...

Mobile Check-in - Checking-out Check-in - NextGen

Mobile Check-in lets people check in to your services and events using their mobile phone. Rock will automatically determine where the person is physically located. Based on the person’s location, Rock will know which services and areas are available for check-in. As you’ll see, the process is very similar to traditional kiosks, but entirely contactless and mobile-friendly. Before You Get Started Mobile Check-in requires that you have SMS messaging configured in your system. See our Communicating With Rock guide for more information. Mobile Check-in Overview Rock ships with the Mobile Check-in Launcher block located at https://yoursite/mobilecheckin. If Rock can’t identify the person right away, they’ll be asked to identify themselves. Identification As you can see above, the person has different options for identifying themselves. They can use Phone Lookup or choose to do a traditional Login. For full details on the Phone Lookup process, see the Phone Number Lookup chapter of the Admin Hero Guide After the person has been identified they’ll need to give permission to use their device’s location. Or, if location services have been disabled (see Setting Up Mobile Check-in) the person will be asked to select a campus instead. Select Campus If location services have been disabled, then the person will see the screen pictured above. Otherwise, they will see the screen pictured below. Allow Location After clicking Next above, a pop-up window will appear where the person can Allow the use of their location. Once permission has been granted, the next screen greets the person...

Check-in Celebrations - Checking-out Check-in - NextGen

If you’ve accomplished a goal, you deserve to celebrate it! Check-in celebrations are a recognition the person sees (and hears) when their check-in results in an achievement being earned. This is a great way to track and encourage engagement at your organization. The check-in confirmation screen shows more than just a celebration when an achievement has been earned. The person can also see their history of earned achievements, and their progress toward the next time they will earn an achievement. Let's break down all the information below. Check-in Celebration Screen 1 Celebrations This area shows the achievements that were completed with the current check-in. In this example, Noah Decker’s check-in resulted in the Ten Weeks in a Row achievement being earned and celebrated. 2 Check-in Confirmation The standard check-in confirmation displays information about the check-in (location, schedule, group, etc.). 3 In Progress This shows the streak progress Noah has toward this achievement. In this example we see he's attended eleven out of the twenty weeks needed to get this achievement. How a celebration is displayed is built into each check-in theme. Each core theme that ships with Rock has its own celebration, as detailed below. Each celebration has both an animation and a sound effect, giving the person something to see and hear. Your custom themes will need to implement their own celebrations using CSS and JavaScript. Next-Gen Check-in Theme See a colorful display of confetti bursting from the screen as trumpets proclaim the achievement has been earned. Setting Up...
