For health reporting in Small Groups, as well as classes, we analyze attendance trends over time. Sometimes, year to year. We need the ability to trend the number of people in a groups attendance who were members and prospects for each meeting. This helps to evaluate the effectiveness of our group leadership strategy. The intent is that through groups, we retain active members while we grow membership by renewing or developing relationships with non active members and prospects. We could get past the 3 month limitation by combining spreadsheets going forward but there is no way to go backwards at this time. Adding the church membership status' would be very useful information. Ultimately, a nice reporting tool would be best.
Yes, we also need the ability to see and export small group attendance beyond the three-month range - I'm not sure why we can enter that information but not get it out of the system.
