What's new in Reformeer

v1.2.9April 3, 2026Latest

Reports, Column Ordering & Initials

Reports now have more filters, you can choose your column order, and date columns can be sorted by month and day for birthday lists. Initials are also now available.

Improvements
  • Choose the order of columns when you build a report. Drag columns up and down, or use the arrow buttons. The CSV downloads in exactly that order.
  • Filter reports by supplementary roles (Finance, Sister, Catechist, Catechism Manager).
  • Filter reports by marital status (Single, Married, Widowed, Divorced, Separated).
  • Sort date columns by month and day only (ignoring the year) — ideal for birthday lists. Just keep clicking the date column header.
  • Initials is now a new field on member profiles, the member table, reports, and the Reformeer app.
  • The CSV download now always shows exactly what you see on screen — same columns, order, and sorting.
Fixes
  • Supplementary roles filter was not recognised as active, which prevented saving reports — now fixed.
  • Column order from saved reports is now correct when you run them.
  • The Insights tab now loads instantly without a loading screen.
Behind the scenes
  • Church cards on mobile are now more compact.

  • Dynamic birthday reports: Create reports like 'Birthdays this month' that automatically update each month — no need to re-create them.
  • Family head data: Reports can include family head contact details (phone, email) alongside member data — like a left join across your member database.
  • 27 available columns: Choose exactly which data to display, including membership dates, office start dates, baptism and confirmation dates, marital status, and member IDs.
  • Instant CSV export: Download any report as a properly encoded CSV that opens correctly in Excel with Afrikaans characters.
  • UI overhaul: Simplified interfaces across both Reformeer and Kantoor for a cleaner, faster experience — larger touch targets, fewer steps, and a more intuitive flow designed for all ages.
Fixes
  • Fixed CSV encoding issue where special characters (e.g. e, o, u) displayed incorrectly when opened in Excel.
Behind the scenes
  • Shared filter utilities extracted for better code reuse between the member table and reports.
