Attendance String¶

Attendance String¶: This is a visual display of a person’s attendance for an Involvement in which they are a Member. The table below lists the codes that can appear in an Attendance String.

Code	Meaning
`P`	Member was marked Present.
`.` or `-`	Member was marked Absent. Some pages show a dash (-) instead of a dot (.) to make it easier to see.
`G`	A Group/Headcount Meeting in which this person was neither marked present nor absent.
`*`	Member was not marked present and attended elsewhere.
`O`	Member was not marked present and was Off-Site.
`V`	Member attended elsewhere as a Volunteer (VIP Member Type).
`I`	Member was not marked present and was In-Service, serving as a leader in another Involvement that meets at the same time. See In-Service Members.

To view the Attendance String¶

Step 1: Go to the person’s record Involvement > Current tab.
Step 2: Click their Member Type for the Involvement you want to see.

Tip

You can also go to the Involvement and click the Member Type for any current Member.

Number of Items in a String

The attendance string will display 52 items. For Involvements that have more than one meeting per week, the string will display approximately 6 months worth of attendance. For an Involvement with Schedules that have an attend credit of “One Per Week”, there will be only one position on the string for each week.

The most recent attendance will be on the right of the string.

In the sample above, the Attendance String is P.P. The P on the far right is the most recent meeting, which Clark Kent attended. He was absent from the meeting before that (.) and present at the first meeting (P on the left). The string has only 3 items because only 3 meetings have been recorded for him so far. Once there are more, it shows up to the last 52 meetings.
