What data is the minimum data needed to track an individual attendance? #1

The less data needed the faster and more flexible the tracking can be.

Do we simply need to count heads? Do we need to know sex or age group? Do we need to know names? ids?

The more data is needed we may need to register users.

Regarding follow-up data, personal data of the assistant (Full name, age, address, telephone number, family, etc.), academic data, Bible studies, etc.

I think the most appropriate thing is to handle it by ids.

If it is very possible to add more users, suspend them in case they decide to change churches or no longer attend.

What do you mean with family? Is that really needed?

JessicaMP commented 3 years ago

They believe necessary.

corlaez commented 3 years ago

Can you expand what family is?

JessicaMP commented 3 years ago

Yes, information about parents, brothers, sisters maybe attends the church another member of your family for example grandmother, aunt .We will cant categorize in extra information.

And why do we want to track family relationships? They may be tricky to track. I would like to understand why they want this. We could add it but it is hard to maintain and it doesn't seem needed to track attendance. I am tempted to say this is something that is outside of our scope. The fact that they believe it is necessary shouldn't really be enough for us adding the feature as we are aiming for a generic solution.

Ok, but maybe you could be considered in input or textarea observations

corlaez commented 3 years ago

Okay. Generic text area with comments makes sense.
