How Programs work in NizamOS

A Program is a recurring group your organization runs, such as a weekly halaqa, a youth circle or a Qur'an class. Each program has a lead, a list of members and a series of sessions where you take attendance. Organization Admins and Division Leads create programs. The program's Program Lead can manage its members, sessions and attendance.

What a program contains#

• Overview — the meeting day, time, location, division and Program Lead, plus counts of members, upcoming sessions and resources.
• Members — people from your People directory who belong to the program.
• Sessions — each meeting of the program. Sessions are listed as Upcoming and Past.
• Resources — files and links shared with this program.

What you can do with sessions#

• Create one-time or recurring sessions. See Schedule program sessions.
• Mark attendance by hand, or let members check themselves in with a QR code. See Take session attendance and QR check-in.
• Let visitors register for one session, free or paid. See Share a session registration link and Take payment for a session.
• Reserve one of your facilities for the session (Complete plan).
• Assign or invite a speaker for the session (Complete plan). See Invite a guest speaker.

Ways people join a program#

• An admin or the Program Lead adds existing people on the Members tab.
• People join themselves through the program's Public join link. See Share a public join link.

Where to find it#

In NizamOS, open Programs in the sidebar. Plain members see only the programs they belong to.

Good to know#

• Programs are part of the NizamOS Core plan and above. On the Free plan the Programs screen shows an upgrade notice.
• Session times are entered and shown in your organization's timezone, set in Organization settings → Organization. If no timezone is set, times are shown in UTC.
• One person has one record in People. Being in a program never creates a second record for them.
