Our church has a shepherding program. At the shepherd's meetings they need names, addresses, phone #'s, attendance dates sorted by shepherd.
I don't know how to go about doing this in powerchurch. Thank you for any help you can offer.

Re: Attendance & Shepherd Report
Unfortunately, I don't believe there is one report that will do this for you. You may have to create a custom report under the Attendance Module in order to pull all this data together.S Davis wrote:Good Morning:

You would have to setup one or two things prior to developing the report:
1. Visit Areas .. this data item is located on the Other Information tab of the Family Mailing List record.
You can use this to create the areas that each shepherd is assigned to visit.
or, if you just assign people to shepherds,
2. Who Visits ... again,this data item is located on the Other Information tab of the Mailing List record.
Either one of these will help to group people for the report.
As far as putting together the report, you would need to know exactly what data items you want to see, as well as how you want them displayed. I would head over to the Knowledge Base area of the website (under Support) and do a search on custom report, this will pull up a bunch of tutorials on how to put together custom reports.
Powerchurch also offers a CD tutorial for $39.95 that will help you with Custom Reports. I would definitely look at the Knowledge Base tutorials for some ideas, as custom reports can be tricky.
That said, a note to the PCPlus reports staff ... adding a new report for this under the Attendance Reports in the next version (whenever that may occur) may not be a bad idea.

Re: Attendance & Shepherd Report
There is not really one report that shows both the attendance and the contact information.
You can use the deacon report in family mailing list. This sorts families by deacon. In attendance you can use the detail weekly attendance by type. This report will let you group by who visits as well. It will also group by family unit so you can see the attendance information for the whole family together.
What I have seen is people produce the contact list quarterly or when there has been enough changes. Then they can produce the attendance report on a separate schedule.
