Group Attendance Reporting

This job will create new Person attributes to track a person's First Attended DateLast Attended DateTimes Attended in Last 12 Months and/or Times Attended in Last 16 Weeks for groups specified by a Data View. These attributes can be manually assigned categories and security as needed. This job considers all attendance in the specified groups, regardless of whether the person is currently an active member of the group.

When you're setting up this job, you have the following options:

  • Group Data View: You'll need to create a data view that returns the group or groups that you want to report on. For instance, you might select all groups of the Small Group type to report on a person's attendance in small groups.
  • Reporting Label: This gets used as part of the name of the attribute(s) that will be created by the job. In the example screenshot below the Reporting Label was "Small Group" so each attribute name starts with that phrase.
  • Tracked Values: For the groups returned by your data view, select the attendance data you want to track. In the example screenshot below all four options were selected, so four new attributes were created.

In the example pictured below, new attributes have been added to show Small Group involvement. In this case the attributes were manually assigned to the Visit Information category, to allow them to show on the Person Profile.

This job will create a new attribute only if it does not find an existing attribute (e.g., from a prior run of the job) to update. This depends on how the job itself is configured. For instance, changing the Reporting Label will result in new attributes being created with the new label.
