Home dashboards just got a major upgrade with the addition of two new widgets that are powered by Planning Center People! These widgets are focused on giving you insight into engagement over time as well as an overview of the different kinds of people in your congregation.
List Results
If you use Planning Center People you’ll know that the Lists feature is an incredibly powerful tool that lets you perform all kinds of actions on people’s profiles and also generate reports that show how your congregation is engaging with your church. The new List Results widget lets you visualize list activity over time so you can see trends, compare results with the previous year, or even track the activity of multiple lists at the same time.
Demographic Breakdown
Knowing exactly who is a part of your congregation equips you to serve them better which is why we’ve created a widget where you can visualize all kinds of demographic information. To get started, add the new Demographic Breakdown widget to a dashboard, select a profile field like age, campus, or even a custom field, and you’re off to the races!
You can narrow the scope by limiting results to people on specific lists or to exclude people who don’t have a value assigned to the selected field.
When using a bar chart, you can choose an additional field to segment each bar even further. An interesting example of this could be seeing the age breakdown for each campus. If you’re just looking for some quick percentages, use a donut chart to visualize membership status, campus size, or the distribution of any custom field.
Knowledge is Power
The information you can unearth with these widgets is virtually limitless! It’s our job here at Planning Center to provide the tools you need to help the people of your church and we believe that understanding who you are serving and how they are engaging with your ministry does exactly that.
Join in with thousands of other Planning Center users in one of our communities to let us know how you’re using Home to stay on top of things!
