Updated over a month ago
  1. To begin inputting data, select Input from the navigation at the top of the page.

  2. Select the location you want to enter data for.

  3. Select the week you want to enter data for. If you have created a midweek service time and set it to "After Sunday," select the Sunday prior to it to record the data appropriately.

  4. Select the service time you would like to enter data.

  5. Begin entering your data into the fields.

    1. When you are entering new data, the data will be bold and a green dot will appear next to the data. This indicates that the data has yet to be saved.

    2. If the data is not bold and has no green dot, that data has been saved.

    3. For all currency data, a currency marker will appear.

  6. Once finished, click Save to save your data. Once you save your data, the Saved icon will appear. The green dot will also no longer display.

Note: There are different levels of access for people entering data, so be sure to read our documentation on 'roles.'

Adding Notes

How to add notes and context to your data

We've all looked at an especially high—or especially low—stat and wondered, "What happened there?" By adding notes to your service times, you can better understand trends in your data and provide important clarity for all the people in your ministry who review data.

  1. Navigate to your Input tab and select your Location, Date, and Service Time.

  2. Scroll to the "Notes" area at the bottom of the input page. Here you can add any information that's pertinent to that weekend. Things like guest speaker name, special events like child dedications or baptisms, a snow storm, a mission drive, etc.
