Weekly Reports
Vitals automatically generates a weekly summary comparing this week to last week and the same week last year.
What's in the Weekly Report
Each weekly report contains a standardized set of metrics so you can compare any week to any other with confidence. Here's what's included by default:
Total Attendance
Adult + Kids attendance combined. Shown with week-over-week and year-over-year change.
Giving
Total giving broken down into in-person and online. Includes per-capita giving if attendance is tracked.
Online Viewers
Live stream and on-demand views recorded for the weekend.
First-Time Guests
New visitors recorded through your check-in or guest card system.
Year-to-Date Totals
Running totals for attendance and giving from the start of your fiscal year through the current week.
% Change vs. Same Week Last Year
Each metric shows how this week compares to the same calendar week 12 months ago.
Viewing Reports
Access any historical weekly report from the Reports section of your dashboard.
- 1From the dashboard, click the Reports tab in the top navigation.
- 2Select Weekly Report from the report type dropdown.
- 3Use the week picker to choose any past week — reports go back as far as you have data.
- 4The report loads instantly with all metrics for that week.
You can view reports for any campus individually or for all campuses combined by using the campus selector at the top of the page.
Sharing Reports
Share weekly reports with board members, elder teams, or other stakeholders who don't have a Vitals login.
- Shareable Link
- Click Share on any report to generate a unique, view-only URL. Anyone with the link can view the report — no login required. Links expire after 30 days by default.
- Export to PDF
- Click Export → PDF to download a formatted, print-ready PDF of the report. Ideal for elder board packets or staff meeting handouts.
Shareable links are read-only and do not expose any settings, team members, or other sensitive information — only the report data.
You can revoke a shareable link at any time from the report's Share menu.
Year-to-Date Summary
Each weekly report includes a YTD section showing running totals from the beginning of your fiscal year through the current week. This gives leadership an at-a-glance read on how the year is trending overall, not just week to week.
YTD totals reset on January 1st by default, or on the first day of your fiscal year if you've configured a custom fiscal year start in Settings → Organization. The YTD section also shows how you're tracking vs. the same period last year — for example, “17 weeks into 2025 vs. 17 weeks into 2024.”
Comparing Date Ranges
Need to compare Q1 this year to Q1 last year, or your summer series to last summer? The date range comparison tool lets you select two custom periods and see them side by side.
- 1Go to Reports → Date Range Comparison.
- 2Set your first date range (e.g., Jan 1 – Mar 31, 2025).
- 3Set your comparison range (e.g., Jan 1 – Mar 31, 2024).
- 4Click Compare. Vitals shows totals and averages for each metric across both periods.
The comparison view can be exported to PDF or shared via link, just like the standard weekly report.
