Improved: Earlier attendance taking window


February 17, 2025
For some groups, people may arrive earlier than 10 minutes before the event, so waiting until then to take attendance isn’t ideal. It can cause lines and even delay the event from starting on time. To help prevent this, we’ve expanded the attendance window to 60 minutes before the event begins.
This new 60 minute attendance window is changed on the Groups admin side and Church Center.
Why is this awesome?
We hope that better flexibility with running events and specifically taking attendance will give you more precious face-to-face time with members in your groups. If you have any feedback on this feature or other thoughts and ideas, we’d love to hear from you! Click the (?) icon in the top right corner of Planning Center to share your input.
Early birds rejoice!
