Events

Guides for district workflows in NazTrack.

The Events module lets you create and track church events, record attendance, and build recurring event series. Events can be one-time or repeating, linked to groups, tagged for reporting, and tracked by both named check-in and headcount.

Browsing Events

The events list displays events as clickable cards. Each card shows the event name, date and time, tags, attendance count (if any), location, and a brief description.

By default the list shows events from the past 30 days through the next 8 weeks. You can narrow or expand this using the From and To date filters and clicking Apply. The Include Past checkbox toggles whether past events are included in the window.

A search field filters events by name, description, and location. Click Reset to return to the default view.

Creating Events

Click Add Event from the events list. Fill in the event details:

  • Event Name — Required.
  • Description — Optional. Shown on the event detail page.
  • Start and End Time — Both required. When you fill in the start time, the end time is automatically set to one hour later if it was blank.
  • Tags — Optional. Select from system tags (Worship, Discipleship, etc.) or custom tags to classify the event for reporting.
  • Linked Group — Optional. Linking an event to a group means the attendance tracking page will use that group's members as the default list.
  • Location — Optional.
  • Registration Fee — Optional. Enter an amount if attendance has a cost.

Leave the 'Make this a recurring event' checkbox unchecked for a one-time event. Click Save Event.

Check 'Make this a recurring event' on the Add Event form. Two additional fields appear:

  • Frequency — How often the event repeats: Daily, Weekly, Biweekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
  • End Date — Optional. If left blank, the series continues indefinitely. If set, the series ends on this date.

A recurring event creates an event series. Future occurrences appear in the events list as virtual entries generated from the series schedule. They do not have attendance records until someone clicks Track Attendance for a specific occurrence — that action creates a real event record for that date.

Editing and Deleting Events

Open the event and click Edit. Update any fields and click Save. Tags on a recurring event apply series-wide — changing tags on one occurrence updates all occurrences.

Click Delete Event from the event detail page. For standalone events there is a single confirm-and-delete action.

For recurring events, you are given three choices:

  • This event only — Marks this occurrence as cancelled. Past and future occurrences are not affected.
  • This event and all future events in the series — Cancels this occurrence and ends the series at this point. Past occurrences remain.
  • All events in the series — Permanently deletes the entire series, all occurrences, and all attendance data for every occurrence.

Deleting an event permanently removes attendance records for that event.

Tracking Attendance

Click Track Attendance from the event detail page. The attendance page shows a grid of people — either the linked group's members or all church people if no group is linked. Click a person's card to mark them as attended (the card highlights green). Click again to unmark them.

A search bar and quick filters (All, Checked, Unchecked) help you navigate large lists. The headcount field at the top lets you record unnamed attendees — visitors or anyone not in the system.

If the event is linked to a group, an Add Person to Group button lets you add someone to the group and optionally mark them as present in one step.

Click Save when you are done. You are returned to the event detail page where a summary of check-ins and headcount is displayed.
