Using Online Attendance Capture

    • To facilitate online attendance capture, create the activity in OGD. Copy the web link for the online attendance capture.
        • If you forgot to copy the web link after creating the activity, go back to activity in OGD. For details, click here.

Questions & Answers

Who encodes the attendance?

    • For chapter activities and Pastoral Formation -- the Mission Support Coordinator (i.e., OGD Encoder) .
    • For household meetings, service meeting, and 1-on-1's -- the head of the household (Cluster Head, Chapter Head, Unit Head, Household Head)
    • For any assembly/meeting where Pastoral Formation talks are given, send attendance details to the OGD encoder. This is reported separately. The OGD Formation records of members need to be updated.

How can we automate keying in attendance records for chapter, cluster, and sector/area events?

    • Use the ACS (Attendance Capture Software) program for computer and/or mobile phone.
      • Download the installer from OGD (ACS-Desktop) or Apps Store (ACS-Mobile).

How can we automate keying in attendance records for household meetings?

What if our household meeting is proceeded by a service meeting?

Using the Members Portal

    • Enter the attendance for the household meeting.

These are two separate meetings which need to be capture separately.
