Now those two work together. When you request a substitute On behalf of the adoration program, you can choose a Start time and a Duration. If only half an hour needs covering, your substitutes are asked for exactly that half hour.

These choices appear when the Enable additional commitment start times and durations field is turned on at Admin » Settings » Commitments.

The ratings now cover whichever dates you choose. Pick a Date range reaching as far back as a year to see how adorers did last month, over the summer, or across the whole year.

Check Show counts to see what each score rests on, such as of 12 dates or of 4 invitations. When there is nothing to score, such as an adorer who received no substitute invitations, the rating reads No data instead of 0%.

Several ratings are now more precise:

• Dutifulness, how often an adorer keeps their commitment rather than requesting a substitute, now counts each date once and leaves out generic substitute requests.
• Reliability, how often an adorer keeps their commitment rather than missing it, now leaves out dates a substitute covered.
• Perseverance, how often an adorer stays until their visit ends, now forgives leaving up to five minutes early and skips visits with no check-out.
• Responsiveness, how often an adorer answers substitute invitations, now counts an invitation as unanswered only if the substitute request expired without a reply.

Blocked adorers are left off the list, and the Export button now exports exactly the adorers and dates on your screen.

Choose Checked out early from the Show filter, and a Minutes early filter appears beside it. Set it to >= 15 minutes to see only the adorers who left well before their commitment ended.

Once you've found them, click Message Adorers to gently encourage them to stay with Our Lord until their time is finished. Learn more about the Visits page.

Administrators and captains can now close a substitute request in two new ways:

• Hour is covered, when the adorers already scheduled provide enough coverage. The search stops and the adorer is removed from the schedule for that one date.
• Adorer will attend, when they turn out to be able to keep their commitment after all.

To help you decide, an open substitute request now shows an Other Scheduled Adorers section listing who else is scheduled for that hour, when each of them arrives, and how often they've kept their recent commitments.

It works beautifully alongside the substitute request approval workflow. With that enabled, every substitute request waits for your review before sending any substitute invitations.

Today, We Adore Him shows you who used that code, and which code it was:

• The New adorer registered, no approval needed admin notification names the code the adorer signed up with.
• The Admin » Adorers page has an Auto-approval code filter, and the search keyword approval=CODE finds everyone who used one particular code.
• An adorer's dashboard page shows the code next to the date they joined.

At Admin » Settings » Onboarding, you'll find two signup URLs: one for everyone, and one that bypasses approval. The same goes for the Signup QR Codes at Admin » Settings » QR Codes. Post the regular ones publicly, and share the bypass versions only with adorers you trust.

If your code ever travels further than you intended, change it on the Onboarding settings page, then search for the old code to review everyone who joined with it.

However, if the chapel's internet goes down, adorers can't check in on the kiosk.

Today, we added the kiosk status to the Admin » Timeline page. An outage stands out as a dark bar above the visits it affected. Before you follow up with adorers about a missed hour, a quick look shows whether the kiosk was working at the time.

We also made the page bookmarkable, so you can now share a link to a particular day on the timeline.

Learn more about the Timeline page and what happens when the kiosk goes offline.

Today, we added three more keywords.

SIGNUP

New adorers who text SIGNUP receive a welcome message and a link to the sign up form, where they can choose an hour and create their adorer account.

Your adoration number is now something to print in the bulletin or post on a sign near the chapel.

LOGIN

Existing adorers who text LOGIN receive a passwordless login link.

DONATE

At parishes collecting donations, an adorer who texts DONATE receives a link that logs them in and opens the donation form.

Adorers can text these keywords in their own language.

Now, when an adorer requests a substitute too close to their hour, a real last-minute substitute request is created. No invitations go out, since there isn't time for a search, but the substitute request exists and everyone can act on it:

• It appears at Admin » Substitute Requests marked Needs manual help, so you can assign a substitute.
• Eligible adorers can claim it like any other substitute request.

Administrators and captains are alerted as soon as one of these substitute requests comes in, and again when it's claimed or assigned, so nobody keeps working on a substitute request that's already filled.

Set how much time the automated system needs with the Threshold for last-minute substitute requests setting at Admin » Settings » Substitutes.

Adorers are told that their substitute request was created, the automated system can't search this time, their adoration coordinator has been asked to step in, and they remain responsible for the hour until a substitute is found.

Learn more about last-minute substitute requests.

To help better identify these adorers, we added an "inactive" adorer status. An adorer is inactive when they have no upcoming commitment, are not on your substitute list, and have neither attended adoration nor logged in during the past year.

Inactive is not a true status. Every account remains either Active or Blocked. Inactive simply describes what your records show, so an adorer can be Active (status) and "inactive" (behavior) at the same time.

You'll find the Inactive adorers list on Admin » Billing, and the count on Admin » Insights » Statistics, alongside your Active and Blocked counts.

See adorer statuses for more details.

Hours can now be marked as coming soon. A coming-soon hour appears on your schedule in pale blue with a dashed border, and adorers can sign up for it just like an open hour, reserving their spot. Nothing else happens in the meantime: no reminders go out, and the hour stays off the Adoration Check-In Kiosk.

Hover over an hour on the Schedule or Calendar page and click Edit, then choose Coming soon under Availability. The schedule shows how many adorers each coming-soon hour still needs, so you can watch your recruiting progress toward opening it. These hours appear in the embed widget on your parish website, too.

When you're ready, edit the hour and set it to Open weekly or Open monthly. Every reservation becomes a live commitment right away, with reminders and the kiosk working as they do on any open hour, and a Message These Adorers button lets you share the good news with everyone who has been waiting.
