Creating ad hoc reports for leadership can be very challenging. Many do not realize that a query is very precise and don’t understand how to formulate their questions.

What is your experience in this area and what methods have you found to help leadership form their questions without resorting to a significant amount of trial and error?

I’ve found that the use of Excel along with Realm’s ability to export csv files can be a huge time saver. I use this frequently to sort reports in different ways and to locate duplicates when combining the results of several queries.

I would appreciate hearing how others use external software such as Excel and Access to extend, massage and enhance Realm data.

We are reopening this Sunday on a limited attendance using a Registration Event to track attendees. Does anyone have experience or recommendations to share that has already reopened?

So far, I haven't found an effective way to use Campus to isolate our membership in order to keep certain communications relevant to a specific campus.

The best solution I've found is to create a Group for each campus and keep the participates updated from the System Group.

Please share the methods you are using to manage each campus if you have a multi-campus ministry, and how you use the Campus option in Realm.

Is anyone using the “breakout rooms function” in their Zoom meetings?

Does anyone use macros to partially automate Realm data entry?

What determines which user defined fields can be queried?

How long do posts in Community Smart remain visible?

Is anyone using barcode scanning or proximity cards for checkin?

As churches begin to reopen, in what ways are you using Realm for compliance for public gatherings?
