First, Second, or Third Time Attender Reports¶
The First Attendance, Second Attendance, and Third Attendance reports are pre-built searches that find people whose first, second, or third attendance at anything in your church occurred during the past 7 days.
To run a report, go to People > Reports and select First Attendance, Second Attendance, or Third Attendance. Search Builder opens with the search already built and runs it.
Each report uses the Search Builder Condition Recent Visit date Nth time with 7 as the number of days to look back. The reports are built so that a person appears in only one of them.

Example
The Third Attendance report excludes people whose second attendance also occurred during the past 7 days. The first Condition is True (3rd visit, 7 days) and the second Condition is False (2nd visit, 7 days). The First Attendance report uses one Condition set to True (1st visit, 7 days).
Search Builder Conditions for the Third Attendance report¶
Use these reports to support a follow-up plan based on how many times a person has attended. After running a report, you can assign Tasks to the people in the results from the Search Builder toolbar.

Tip
To verify a person’s attendance, click their name in the Search Builder results, then go to Involvement > Attendance on their people record.
The Attend Type is not always First Time Guest or Recent Guest, even when the person has only one attendance. A person who registers for an event or class before attending is enrolled as a Member of the Involvement, so their first attendance is recorded as a Member, not a Guest. Attendance at a meeting where you record only a headcount is not counted. A person becomes a first time attender the first time they attend a meeting that records individual attendance.
