attendance and bar code reader
I am wondering if there is a way to use Power Church to enter attendance of several activities at once. For instance my adults discipleship class (activity 201) is meeting at the same time as my youth (activity 502) and children ministry (activity 402). Can they all check in using the bar code reader? Right now it looks like that you can only have one activity open at a time. I want to have a computer and a bar code reader at each activity so that they can all check in. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The fast data entry screen wasn't really designed to be a check-in station, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. If there is going to be a different computer for each activity, then you could just pull up the a separate Fast Data Entry screen on each computer.
If multiple activities are checking in on one computer, you can have multiple fast data entry windows open at one time. Who ever is checking people in would need to select the fast data entry window for the appropriate activity before checking someone in.
You can also have multiple stations checking people into a single activity. The Fast Data Entry screens will refresh about every 5 seconds from data entry by other machines.
