Attendance Tracking
Attendance tracking helps you understand who is showing up, identify trends, and follow up with members who may be disengaging.
Attendance Codes
FaithAdmin uses attendance codes to categorize how someone attended:
- Present -- Physically attended
- Absent -- Expected but did not attend
- Online -- Attended via livestream or virtual meeting
- Late -- Arrived after the start time
- Excused -- Absent with a valid reason
You can customize attendance codes under Settings to match your organization's needs.

Attendance Statistics
