Unlike chained activities which sum the individuals impacted by an activity, some activity types – Evangelism, Discipleship or Training, or Leadership Training – often occur with the same individuals multiple times. Whether it’s a one-time recurrence or a regular weekly meeting we don’t want to double count those individuals, but only count them once.
GAPP can account for those recurring activities.
Recurring properties are set by the Workspace Creator, so templates which are recurring may differ according to your Workspace.
If your Workspace was created before September 23, 2023 you do not have recurring activities turned on by default. Your Workspace Creator will need to enable them.
Recurring activity aggregation in the summary cards is still under construction.
