Once you successfully log in to your churches' private site, this home page lets you find people using either first or last names. Simply type in a name and click on Search. Messages from your Church Office Administrator appear to the left and upcoming birthdays and graphs will be available as well.
Quickly view important family member and contact information in this summary form, or view, edit or delete detail information with just a mouse click and a few key strokes. Families matching your search criteria are displayed in alphabetical order by last name in this summary form. To see additional contact information such as street addresses or mobile phone numbers, simply click on the "Show" link to the left of the family name. The "Edit" link allows a user with appropriate security permissions to update information related to a family, and clicking on the trash can symbol will delete all information related to the family.
From this view you can see all family member names, all available contact information (e.g., email addresses, mobile phone numbers), a family picture, and the interests that are "Tagged" to the family. Notice that each member of a family can have unique contact information (e.g., a mobile phone, email address) and that additional information such as birthday and gender are also available.
Entering and updating membership information is simple and requires no training - simply search for a family to edit and then fill in the information in this friendly, easy-to-use form. In addition to basic family and contact information, you can assign one or more "Tags" to a family. A tag is a way of linking sub-groups of members to various activities or aspects of your church operations. For example, you can tag all families with teenage members with a tag of "Youth" and then use this tag to generate email distribution lists or mailing labels for all families with teenagers. This view also allows a user with the right security permissions to add, update, or delete any of the data items associated with this family. Digital family portraits can be uploaded to the site and associated with a family using a few simple mouse clicks that guide you through the process.
Once you've entered your church family information, you can immediately start being more productive. The Directory link creates an attractively formatted listing of all of your church family members in alphabetically order by last name and listing all family member's names and primary street and phone numbers. The Pictorial directory includes a family portrait and all family member names. Both are produced in an industry-standard publishing format (a .pdf file) that you can directly print using your computer & printer or take to a commercial printing service. Need to get your newletter out to your members in a hurry? Support for 300+ mailing label formats is also available, and email addresses can be exported for use in your email software. Both mailing labels and email features support selection filtering using the "Tag" feature.
Show report options for:Printing your churches' pictorial directory couldn't be easier. Once you've uploaded portraits for each family, use the Pictorial Directory report to quickly create an attractive document layout you can immediately print on your computer printer. Pictures are automatically scaled to save you additional editing time. Optional features make it possible for you to authorize your church members to log into the system from their homes and print their own directories - saving your church budget this expense year after year.
Creating a contact directory is also easy - simply select one of the pre-defined formats and click "Print". The resulting .pdf file can be printed on any computer printer.
Mailing labels for your entire church or for a select group of tagged church members can be formatted to one of over 300 standard mailing label types. Use the Label report to select the tagged groups you want, then click print. It's that simple.
