If I can add overall here. A native solution would be best, but the key note here: A lot of churches, like us, do not give account access to Elvanto or the app. This is because in a medium/large church this increases management.

Check-in via the app should be a feature, but this needs to not be the primary check-in. We developed a custom QR code solution which allows smartphone/tablet check-in. It also has a component that caters to the needs of those who don't have smartphones/tablets, so they can print off their "tickets" (not using the non-customisable tickets of Elvanto). Our system also gives provision for vulnerable/low-tech members of our congregation to be "assisted check-in", so we can produce sheets of QR codes to be used by the check-in team when these people arrive

I believe the mobile app should be one element of an overall approach to cater for all people.

So needed! This is what's holding us back from implementing the check in process at the moment (logging in to browsers is too cumbersome)

Hey Craig,

I've just moved this to the correct board and updated the title so we can track this easier.

To add to this, I would like the attendance to be real time, updating automatically. Our ushers take attendance, and since there are several ushers taking attendance at the same time, a name needs to disappear (or be marked) when they are counted, so the other ushers see that person already checked in. Also, it would be nice if they could count guests, without also seeing all the other statistics as well.

Yes please :)

Hey Nicholas, and other Voters.

I've just edited this post to make it solely about taking attendance for services.

There is an existing request for taking attendance for groups available that you can add your support to if desired, although we're already working on that right now.

Yes! That would be so awesome!
