\uD83D\uDCD8 Instructions

...

Many activities are related to each other. For example, a Prayer Walk may lead to a Gospel Conversation that leads to an ongoing series of Discipleship or Training activities.  Through Chaining, GAPP allows you to link these activities together to see the progress of the Lord’s work.  

When should you use chaining? 

Chaining can help you see patterns of Great Commission impact over time, which helps to inform your team’s strategy. Though GAPP will allow chaining between any activities, in general, you should chain to an activity if it led directly to the next activity. For example, if you showed a gospel film to 50 people, and then had gospel conversations with 7 of them, you would chain that gospel conversation activity (or activities if they were separate conversations) to the human needs project activity. On the other hand, if two activities were unrelated, even though they may have happened on the same day or in the same place, you probably would not want to chain them.  

 

There are several ways to get to the Chaining function, but here is the most basic. 

\uD83D\uDCD8 To Chain an Activity in GAPP: 

  1. Click on your Team under the “My Teams” area of the screen. 

  2. From the menu under your team name, click on Activities 

  3. If needed, the Filter bar at the top allows you to filter your Activities to find the one you are looking for. 

  4. Click on the Activity you want to chain a new Activity to, and information about that activity will open up. 

  5. Click the “Chain Activity” button. 

  6. Choose the Core Task and Activity you want to chain and click to add the Activity. 

    1. An Activity dialogue will open. The top of the new dialogue box screen will indicate the new Activity is “Chained” to the previous Activity. 

      1. You can click on this “Chained From” Activity to verify the details. Then click done at the bottom of the box to return to the new Activity. 

  7. Complete the answers to the Activity as you would normally and click Save.
