# Small Groups

Small Groups (also called cells) get their own purpose-built screen: a card-grid list, a
detail page with a leader/schedule sidebar, a members panel, a meeting log, and group
multiplication.

## Creating a group

**New group** — name, status, type, Leader, Supervisor, meeting day/time, and either a
**Host** (a member whose home hosts the meeting) or a plain address.

- Picking a **Host** automatically fills the group's address from that member's own home
  address, so you don't have to retype it — you can still override it by typing your own
  address instead.
- The **Leader** and **Supervisor** pickers, if your church has set them up under
  [Tags & Tag Roles](#/tags), only show members carrying the matching tag (e.g. only members
  tagged "Small Group Leader" appear as leader candidates). If your church hasn't set that
  up, everyone is offered.

**On your website.** Tick **Show in the group finder on our website** and write a short
**Public description** (who it's for, roughly where it meets) to list the group on your
[Church Website](#/church-website). Visitors see the name, day, time and that description —
never the host, address or notes — and can tap **I'm interested**, which brings them in as a
new [Visitor](#/visitors) with the group noted.

## The detail page

- **Sidebar** — leader, supervisor, schedule, address, host, notes, and a **Multiplication**
  card. Use **Multiply this group** when a cell grows and splits into two — it opens the
  create form pre-seeded with a name like "Youth Group II" and links the new group back to
  its parent, so you can trace a cell's lineage over time.
- **Members panel** — add someone with a role (leader, co-leader, member) or remove them.
  Removing deletes the membership record outright, not just marks it inactive.
- **Meetings panel** — log a meeting with date, attendee count, first-timer count, offering,
  topic and **notes** (prayer requests, follow-ups, how it went). **Who came** lists the group's
  members with a checkbox each: tick who was there (or **Mark all present**) and HolyCRM saves
  each person's attendance, which also shows in [Attendance](#/attendance). Leave **Attendees**
  blank and it's filled in with the number you ticked. The log shows each meeting's notes and
  who was present.
- **Edit** on a logged meeting loads it back into the form, including who came, so you can
  correct it and **Save**.

## Tags and the family tree

- Groups can have [tags](#/tags), picked in the group's form like on a member. The list has a
  **Tags** filter, and **Tag…** tags every group the list shows.
- **Family tree** (next to **Cards** above the list) shows each group under the group it
  multiplied from, so you can see a cell's whole lineage at a glance. Click any group to open
  it.

## What it doesn't do yet

Making a member's "leader" role in the group's members panel the group's main Leader
automatically (set the Leader in the group's form).
