## What is Table?

Table is the roll book for church small groups.

It answers the questions a leader actually has: who is in my group, when do we meet, who
came last time, and who has quietly stopped. Nothing else.

TAKE THE ROLL IN SECONDS
Open the app and tonight's meeting is already there, with your group's roster ready to
mark. Tap present or absent, or mark that the group did not meet at all. A night you
did not gather is never counted as a night nobody came.

MEETINGS THAT CREATE THEMSELVES
Set when a group meets (weekly, every other week, or monthly) and the calendar fills
itself in. Change the day and future meetings move with it, while the ones you have
already taken a roll for stay exactly as they were.

QR CHECK-IN
Hold up a code and the room checks itself in. People who are new get added to the
roster as they do it, so the list stays current without anyone typing. Check-in is for
ages 13 and over, and each person agrees to how their details are used.

TEXT YOUR GROUP FROM YOUR OWN PHONE
Pick people on the Message tab and each invite opens in Messages with their name already
in it, sent from your own number. Table never sends a text itself. Leaders can split the
list between them and see who has already been texted, so nobody gets two.

SEE WHO IS SLIPPING AWAY
The app quietly surfaces anyone who has missed three meetings in a row, which is the
moment a pastoral phone call still matters. Further down Today, Insights shows
attendance for every meeting and every person.

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Widgets show your next meeting, how the last roll went and your church's week, and the
Take roll widget opens that meeting's roll in one tap. They show group names, times and
counts, never a roster member's name, because a Home Screen is seen by anyone holding
the phone (a group named after its hosts shows that name). On the Lock Screen they stay
hidden until the phone is unlocked. Widgets need iOS 17 or later.

ONE PERSON, ONE RECORD
Add someone who is already on file and Table offers that person instead of a second
record. When two records or two groups slip through anyway, pastors see them side by
side in Church settings and merge them, history and all.

THREE KINDS OF LEADER
A group leader sees the groups they lead and nobody else. A ministry leader sees every
group inside their ministry and decides who leads one. A pastor or administrator sees
the whole church. Each boundary is enforced in the database, not merely hidden in the
interface. In a Youth ministry, students aged 13 to 17 can lead too, once a pastor
approves them, with an adult leader overseeing and a parent told by email.

SENSITIVE GROUPS STAY CLOSED
Leaders join their group with the code their church gives them. A pastor can mark a
group restricted, such as a recovery or youth group, and then joining it waits for a
pastor's or the ministry leader's approval.

PERMISSION ON RECORD
Most people on a roster never use the app, so Table asks leaders to confirm the church
has their permission before adding anyone, needs a parent's or guardian's agreement for
anyone under 18, and records how every person was added and by whom.

A REMINDER BEFORE IT MATTERS
Two days before a group meets, every one of its leaders finds a reminder waiting in the
app: send your invites, check your roster. The day before, a last call.

FOR THE WHOLE CHURCH
Pastors and administrators get a master sheet: a summary, then a page for every ministry
with each of its lifegroups. Export it, or have it emailed to yourself.

FINDING YOUR CHURCH
Leaders sign up by typing their church's name, picking it from the list, and entering
the code their church gave them. There is nothing for the congregation to install:
Table is for the handful of people who carry the groups.

Table holds names and phone numbers of real people, most of whom never signed up
for an app. It is built accordingly: no adverts, no analytics, no tracking, and nothing
ever sold.

## Frequently asked questions about Table

### How does Table help with taking attendance?

Table allows leaders to mark attendance for each member in seconds directly from the app. Meetings that are missed are not counted as a night nobody came, ensuring accurate tracking.

### Can I schedule meetings automatically with Table?

Yes, you can set your group's meeting frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly), and the app will automatically populate the calendar. Future meetings will adjust if the day changes, while past attendance records remain fixed.

### What is the QR check-in feature in Table?

The QR check-in allows members to scan a code to mark their attendance, with new members automatically added to the roster. This feature is available for ages 13 and over, with user consent for data usage.

### How does Table identify members who are disengaging?

Table highlights members who have missed three consecutive meetings, prompting timely pastoral outreach. The 'Insights' section provides a detailed attendance history for every meeting and individual.

### What are the different leader roles in Table?

There are three roles: Group Leaders see only their own groups, Ministry Leaders see all groups within their ministry and can assign leaders, and Pastors/Administrators have access to the entire church's data.
