What's New (September 1)

Also, to accurately track attendance for past meetings, small group leaders and admins can now indicate the dates people join small groups when they add participants. For example, if a new participant doesn't already have a constituent record, a small group leader can’t add them to the group the first time they attend. Previously, a participant’s start date was always the same as the date they were added to a group.

From Constituents, Small groups, open a small group’s record. Under Meetings, select the menu for the meeting to update, and select Take attendance. To add a participant, select New, search for the person to add to the group, and select a date in the Participant start date field.

Note: The participant appears in the group’s attendance lists starting from the date you select, so you can update their attendance as needed.
