Attendance & Smart Outreach

Offline Attendance Logging

How to mark attendance without internet and track pastoral care cases.

This guide explains how to use Kononia’s progressive offline attendance logging and configure automatic outreach alerts.

Understanding Offline-First Mode

Church basements and community halls often suffer from poor cellular connection. To solve this, Kononia operates on an Offline-First model, allowing servants to record attendance seamlessly without any network access.

How It Works Under the Hood

  1. Roster Caching: When you open the attendance logger while online, the system caches the entire classroom roster locally on your browser/mobile device.
  2. Offline Mode: You can toggle checks, mark absences, and write notes. These are stored securely in local database pockets.
  3. Auto Synchronization: The moment your device reconnects to a network, the system uploads local edits silently.

Recording Attendance

To mark attendance, servants can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Kononia App on your mobile device.
  2. Navigate to Attendance.
  3. Select your class/group.
  4. Check or uncheck members’ names.
  5. Tap Save Changes.

Smart Pastoral Care Automation

Proactive pastoral care is the heartbeat of church life. Kononia helps ensure no one is overlooked by automating follow-ups.

Automatic Case Assignment

If a member is absent for 3 consecutive weeks, the platform automatically creates a Pastoral Outreach Case and assigns it to their designated servant.

Logging Outreach Actions

Servants can view their active outreach dashboard and log actions taken:

  • Phone Call: Log date and phone call status.
  • Home Visit: Document the visitation outcome and prayer requests.
  • Priest Intervention: Request the parish priest to intervene for complex spiritual guidance.
