Sending Attendance Reminders for Group Type

This job sends reminders to group leaders to enter attendance. All individuals in the group with a role that has the 'Is Leader' setting will receive this reminder. Keep in mind that this job will only send reminders to groups of the configured type if the group type's Send Attendance Reminder option is disabled (unchecked).

A couple of key configuration options for this job are:

• System Communication: The system communication that you would like to use for sending the reminder. Rock ships with a Group Attendance Reminder system communication for this purpose.
• Send Reminders: By default, a reminder will always be sent the day the group meets. By adding values here, you can configure additional reminders if the attendance has not been entered. For instance, entering 
• Send Using: Choose whether the reminder should be sent via SMS text message, email or either according to the group leader's preference. Group leaders can set their preference in the Group Leader Toolbox.
• Campuses: You can select one or more campuses to only send reminders for groups associated with that campus. This does require that the groups are tied to a campus.
• Parent Group: If you choose a group here, reminders will only be sent to groups that are children (and grandchildren, etc.) of the selected group.

Note that the attendance reminder options available on the group type apply to the Send Group Attendance Reminders job described below.
