The Rapid Attendance Entry block allows you to record attendance for lots of people very quickly. This could come in handy for certain situations, such as checking a lot of people in for a worship service and wanting to do so as fast as possible. Rapid Attendance Entry can also be very useful outside of attendance. It's great for entering communication cards, prayer cards or other information you might collect in large volumes. The Rapid Attendance Entry block makes these tasks quick and simple. Let's look at how it works.

To start, navigate to People > Rapid Attendance Entry. You’ll begin the process by selecting the group for which you want to record attendance. The group's settings and attributes determine which options will be available on the screen.

After filling out the required fields as described above, click the Start button to proceed to the page pictured below.

Your page may look slightly different depending on how your organization has configured the block settings.

After entering a name and clicking Go, you’re ready to start recording attendance...and more!

Again, keep in mind that there are many block settings to tailor this page to your organization’s needs. The example pictured below highlights some useful features, but they aren’t required and may not be visible when you access the page in your system.

Workflows launched from this block will be passed the person as the workflow’s entity. If they exist, the block will also fill in any of the workflow attributes listed below:

It’s easy to see that there’s a lot more to Rapid Attendance Entry than entering attendance. But to truly understand all your options for this feature, we’ll need to dive into the block settings. There are a lot of settings to cover, so we’ll break it down into a few parts.
