The biggest value of taking attendance is this: Domo notices when someone starts drifting away and tells you, so no one gets lost in the crowd.
The "Need follow-up" section
You'll find it on Home (a summary of the most urgent) and in full in Pastoral Care, on the tab of the same name.
Domo builds that list by looking at attendance patterns:
- Worship services — missing 2 of the last 4 triggers an alert; missing 3 or more means the person "is drifting away".
- Discipleships — missing several meetings in a row of their group.
- One-on-one meetings — missing consecutive personal discipleship appointments.
Each person appears with a severity signal: those drifting away the most come first.
When you've already talked to the person
The idea is to act, not just look at the list. Once you've contacted someone, leave a record of that care: create a pastoral note or task for that person.
When you do, Domo understands you're already walking with them and stops showing them in "Need follow-up", until a new pattern appears.
That way the list stays clean and always shows you who still needs attention, not the people you're already caring for.
In short
- You take attendance regularly.
- Domo detects who to walk alongside and shows you.
- You contact the person and leave a note or task.
- The list updates on its own.
