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.
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.
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.
