How to Access

You can open the Setup - Meeting Attendance window from:

• Report Viewer → Setup (when the Meeting Attendance tab is selected)

Built-in Reports

The Report Viewer includes three built-in reports that determine how attendance is grouped and averaged:

Averages by Month

Displays all attendance figures for the selected month and calculates separate averages for each meeting.

Averages by Period

Summarises attendance totals for each month across the selected period and calculates one combined average per meeting.

Trends Chart

Shows a visual timeline of attendance across the selected period. Hover over a data point to see the exact attendance value.

💡 Tip: All three reports use the date range and formatting options you set below.

Select Year

Choose the starting year for the reporting period. The selected year defines the calendar year in which the report begins.

This works together with Starting Month and No. of Months to determine the full reporting range.

Starting Month

Select the first month of the reporting period. The report begins on the first day of this month, and the final date is calculated automatically based on the number of months selected.

No. of Months

Specify how long the reporting period should be. You can type a value directly or use the up/down arrows.

The reporting period extends forward from the selected year and starting month.

Date Format

These options control how dates are displayed on your reports.

• Use Custom Date — Enable custom formatting.
• Sample — Shows a live preview of the current format.
• User Defined — Enter a custom date format when Use Custom Date is enabled.

💡 Tip: See Custom Date Formats for the available formatting codes.
