Watch the guide
This walkthrough shows how to set up a simple seating layout in CountTrue. The goal is to get something practical in place quickly, so your team has a clear visual guide for counting and you can refine the layout over time.
Why use a seating layout?
A seating layout helps counters to track exactly where they are up to, and helps avoid missing seats or rows or double counting. It also makes it easier for multiple counters to work together, since they can visually divide the space into sections. With a clear layout, sections are easier to assign, easier to track, and easier to review after the service.
CountTrue helps you get started quickly with a simple layout, so you can start counting this Sunday. Then you can refine the layout to make it as detailed and accurate as you like.
You can also export your layout to share with set up teams to help them arrange the space to match your layout, which makes counting easier and more accurate.
