Comprehensive, Insightful Reports
Once you get data into PDS, how can you get it back out? That's where PDS shines. Whether you are printing a mailing list or a comprehensive analysis of the health of your church, the reports are practical, insightful and easy to generate. PDS Live offers a new report writing tool that allows you to select the fields you want, add filtering and sorting options and then play with your data in a spreadsheet-like view before you print it.
There are hundreds of reports covering all aspects of your church's ministry.
For example:
- Weekly Vitals (see sample report)
- Demographic Analysis of who's in your community vs. who you attract to services vs. who becomes a member.
- Attendance and Giving Analysis by week, month, quarter, and year
- Membership Status Trend Reporting— “How many 100 level members did we have in 1999 compared to those in 2000?” “Who renewed their covenants and who did not?” “What is our assimilation efficiency, e.g., what percent of first timers become members?”
- Contribution Statements for individuals or all contributors by year and/or YTD
- Small Group Analysis - For example:
- Regular Attenders and Members not in a small group
- List of all open groups
- Master list of coaches, leaders and small group members
- Ministry Analysis
- Ministry Leader Reports
- Regular Attenders and Members not in a ministry (used for recruiting!)
- Weekly Prayer Request Reports (both confidential and non-confidential)
- Many more...
Mailing Lists & Output Options
- In addition to all the above, there are over 100 pre-programmed lists that you can send mass email or postal mail to OR output to a printed list, labels, envelopes, name tags, postcards, html file, Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, or do a Microsoft Word mail merge to a form letter.
- You can also output to any of the above options with any small group or ministry team or a mailing list that you create!
- Multiple types of Address & Phone Directories (Membership, Staff, Groups, etc.) automatically formatted for print and the web.
All reports can be saved as PDF files! All reports can be sent as email attachments!
Most reports can be saved in Microsoft Word or Excel so you can do simple editing and formatting of the exported report.
