Dashboard Overview
Your Vitals dashboard shows all your church's key metrics at a glance — attendance, giving, online viewers, groups, and more.
The Weekly Summary Card
The large summary card at the top of your dashboard gives you an instant read on how this week compares to recent history. It shows three columns side by side:
- This Week
- The most recently recorded Sunday's data.
- Last Week
- One week prior — useful for spotting short-term trends like a holiday dip.
- Same Week Last Year
- The most meaningful comparison — removes seasonal noise like summer or Christmas.
Reading the arrows
A green arrow means growth compared to the same week last year. A red arrow means decline. The percentage shown is the year-over-year change.
If last year's data is missing, the comparison column will show a dash rather than a misleading percentage.
Metric Cards
Below the summary card, each individual metric gets its own card. The number displayed is pulled from your most recent Sunday's entry. Click any card to open a history chart showing that metric over time.
- Main number
- Most recent Sunday's recorded value for that metric.
- Trend indicator
- Small arrow and percentage showing change vs. same week last year.
- Sparkline
- A miniature 8-week chart gives you a quick visual of recent direction without clicking in.
Tips
Click any metric card to open the detail view with a full interactive chart and historical table.
Metrics you've hidden in Settings won't appear here, but their data is still being recorded.
Trends Chart
At the bottom of the dashboard is the Trends chart — a full-width, 12-week rolling view of any metric you choose. This is the fastest way to spot direction and seasonality without drilling into individual records.
Click any metric name in the legend below the chart to switch what's displayed. You can overlay up to two metrics at once to see correlations — for example, attendance alongside giving.
The 12-week window rolls forward automatically each week. To see a longer range, use the Reports tab.
Hover over any data point on the chart to see the exact value and date.
Date Navigation
The dashboard always opens to your most recent week, but you can browse any past week using the week picker in the top-right corner of the dashboard. Selecting a prior week loads a full snapshot of all metrics exactly as they were recorded for that Sunday.
The week picker snaps to Sundays. If your church meets on Saturdays, data will still be attributed to the weekend period and appear when you select that week.
Multi-Campus View
If your organization has multiple campuses, a campus dropdown appears in the top navigation bar of the dashboard. By default it shows All Campuses, which sums every campus's data into a single combined view.
Select any individual campus from the dropdown to see only that location's metrics, trends, and summary card. Campus pastors with restricted access will only see their assigned campus in the dropdown.
Campus filtering applies to all cards and charts on the dashboard simultaneously.
To add or rename campuses, go to Settings → Campuses.
Customizing Your Dashboard
You can tailor the dashboard to show exactly what matters to your leadership team — in the order that makes sense for your church.
- Reorder cards
- Drag any metric card to a new position. The order is saved per user and persists across sessions.
- Hide metrics
- Go to Settings → Metrics and toggle the eye icon to hide metrics your church doesn't track. Hidden metrics still record data — they're just not shown on the dashboard.
Dashboard customizations are per-user — each team member can set up their own preferred layout without affecting others.
