You will need to be a group admin or have the Can manage attendance special group permission to perform this action.
Group leaders can record who came to a group meeting from their phone, without waiting to get back to a computer. Attendance lives on the Attendance tab inside the group, and the tab appears only for people whose role in that group allows it.

Taking attendance
Take attendance
Open the app and sign in. Group tabs appear only for signed-in members.
Tap the three-bar menu in the top left, then tap Groups.
Open the Mine view and tap the group you are taking attendance for.
Tap the Attendance tab. If you do not see it along the tab row, tap More to reveal the rest of the tabs.
Tap the green + button.
Choose an existing meeting date, or add a new one, then tap the green Continue button.
Mark who was present, and save.
Add extra guests and notes
Visitors who came but are not on the roster still count toward the total.
On the attendance session, tap the pencil icon in the top right.
Enter the number of unlisted visitors in the Extra guest field.
Add any notes about the meeting in the same place.
Tap the green Save button.
Group roles and messaging
Which tabs you see in a group
Inside a group, a signed-in member gets a set of tabs rather than a single page, and which tabs appear depends on their role in that group. This is why two people in the same group can see different tabs.
Info - everyone, always. Meeting details, leaders and the description.
Events - any member of the group. The group's events.
Members - members of an interactive group who hold a role, and leaders or admins. The roster, editing members, and emailing or texting the group.
Attendance - leaders and admins, or a member granted attendance rights. Taking and editing attendance sessions.
Positions - leaders and admins, or a member granted positions rights. Group positions and assignments.
Files - any member of the group. Viewing and uploading group files.
Notes - leaders and admins, or a member granted notes rights. Reading and writing group notes.
Tip: When a group has more tabs than fit across the screen, the extra ones fold under More at the end of the row. So "my group has four tabs and my colleague has five" is usually a difference in role rather than a fault. Check the list above before troubleshooting anything.
Someone who is not a member of the group sees a public page instead: the meeting details, the leaders, the description, and a Sign up button, or Group is full when the group has no room left.
Email or text your group
Leaders can email their group from the Members tab, choosing recipients and picking a template. A Text option appears alongside it only where your church has text messaging licensed and verified.
Tip: If a leader says they can email the group but the Text option is missing, that is your church's text messaging setup rather than their group role. Their role is already high enough, since it is letting them email.
