We would love if the system would auto populate both First and Last visit dates (under Membership) based on Children's Check-In, Small Group attendance or any type of attendance taken in the system for any event. Those fields are already there now; but it's not practical for us to update/fill them in each week manually.
Today we just announced the release of a new feature set. The First Visit and Last Visit fields have been updated with historical attendance data and will be automatically updated based as attendance is taken for Small Groups, Classes, and Events. These fields are available in Lists and can be viewed as a new column and can be filtered by these fields. Read all about it here: https://community.blackbaud.com/blogs/97/7611
Hi Traci! When we release this it will not only auto-populate those fields with attendance data from Small Groups, Classes, and Events, but it will also be available in Lists as a filter and as columns. The devs are coding this as we speak so it shouldn't be too much longer.
We are thrilled that this idea is Planned! Thank you! I did want to add though; we will need this added in FILTERS so that we can then filter by First Visit or Last Visit date(s). We would love it as an option in Columns too! :) A specific example of that need is when we send Birthday cards to our KidsLife Ministry; we would look specifically at last date attended especially for those with a Membership Status of Visitor.
This would be nice as our elders use last date attended regularly.
