Besides tracking the basics like member attendance, handbooks, sections, and points, the Windows App can track a variety of other items. This section assumes understanding of the topics covered under learning the basics to explore additional features of the Windows App.

1.Record service history and training events for leaders. The Windows App can evaluate attendance requirements to determine if a leader has attended enough weeks to count towards a year of service.
2.Track Inventory by entering current inventory counts. The Quantity in Stock values are automatically decreased as awards are earned and books are assigned and increased as items on an Order are marked as Received.
3.Manage orders placed with Awana Clubs International including which items have been received or back-ordered. Although the Windows App does not make a connection to place the order, the completed order form makes phoning, mailing or entering the order on the website very simple.
4.Post payments for dues, uniforms, books, etc. to the applicable fees and track which items have been received. By sorting and filtering the Ledger Module grids, totals for received payments, amounts still outstanding, or the total amount of waived fees can be determined.
5.Periodically print Household Account Statements to remind members of an outstanding balance. The statement is customizable, so information can be give about contacting the church or possible scholarships. Statements can be printed directly from any family's Household Ledger.
6.Use the Offering field of the Check-in grid to keep track of offering money. The names of the accounts to which offerings can be credited can be customized.
7.Enter a record in the Contacts Module when a leader sends a postcard, makes a phone call, or otherwise contacts a clubber.
8.Use the Events Module to track members who attended events and if an award was earned. This is handy for Bible Quizzing and Awana Games participation.

There are often multiple ways to perform the same action. For example, to open a record: double click a row in a grid; select a row and use the Open button on a toolbar, the right click pop-up menu option, or press Enter or Ctrl+O. It is not important to know ALL of the ways to perform an action, just the one that works for you!
