Below are examples of the charts you can view for a Step Program.

Trends

The Trends chart helps you see participation momentum over time. Use peaks to identify when engagement is most common and dips to detect potential disengagement. Each line represents a step type, letting you compare participation across activities such as Baptism or Small Group. Filters for Campus, Measure, and Status help you isolate data and uncover key ministry trends. There are two ways to view this chart:

Line Chart

Quick Chart Tips
Click a Step Type in the key to temporarily hide its data from the results. This works on both the Trends and Campuses charts.  

Bar Chart

Smart Charts
If your bar chart includes 15 or more bars, they will display horizontally to make them easier to read.

Ministry Seasons
Our trend charts are an effective indicator of when your organization's "seasons" are. In this example, engagement is high right before summer, then drops dramatically. You may have had that feeling already, now you have stats to back it up!  

Totals

Totals provide a snapshot of overall engagement volume. Use this chart to see which step types dominate participation during a given period. Hover over bars to view specific counts and compare activity across months.

Campuses

This chart visualizes how each campus contributes to total step completions. It helps ministry leaders assess which campuses have engagement growing steadily and which may need additional engagement strategies.

Flow

Rock's Step Flow chart gives you powerful insights into your step program. This diagram shows each step in your program and visually illustrates how people move from one step to another or stop after a certain step. Pay close attention to areas where people drop off. We'll show you how to spot those.

You'll want to pay special attention to the empty areas to the right of the colored bars. These areas reflect program abandonment, or step falloff. You'll want to investigate why people stop participating in the program after certain points. The Step Flow lets you visually see where those points of step falloff are, to identify areas where changes in your program might be needed.

As you can see, the Step Flow provides great insight into how people move from one step to another (or stop moving entirely) throughout your program. That might be all you need, but there's more to be seen. Hovering your mouse over the colored bars or over the gray flow lines will give you additional details, providing further insights.
