Logging a Visit

Logging a visit helps you remember what you discussed with a person and what literature you left. The next time you visit, you can review your notes so you are prepared to continue the conversation.

How to Log a Visit

1. Open the contact you want to log a visit for. You can do this from the Contacts tab, the Dashboard, or the Map view.
2. Tap ＋ Log Visit.
3. The visit date defaults to today. To change it, tap the date field and choose a different date from the calendar.
4. Type your visit notes. Describe what you discussed, any questions the person raised, or anything you want to remember for next time.
5. Optionally, enter any literature you placed — for example, "Enjoy Life Forever ch. 4" or "Good News tract."
6. Tap Save Visit.

A confirmation message will appear, and the visit will be added to the contact's timeline.

Reviewing Previous Visits

When you open the Log Visit screen, a summary of your last visit with that person is shown at the top. This helps you pick up where you left off.

To see the full history of visits with a contact, open the contact's detail screen. All visits are listed in order under Visit Timeline, with the most recent visit at the top.

Tips for Good Visit Notes

• Write what the person said or asked, not just what you said. This helps you remember them.
• Note specific scriptures or publications that interested them.
• Include practical details: "She works mornings — visit after 2 p.m." or "Blue house next to the park."
• Keep it brief. A sentence or two is usually enough.

Logging a Visit From the Visit Tab

You can also tap the Visit tab at the bottom of the screen. If you have a contact selected, the Log Visit screen opens for that contact. If no contact is selected, you will be prompted to choose one first.
