Now, when an address is present on a parsonage, it is added automatically into Contact Information when linking a pastor into the parsonage.
- 08/03/2021 – With the release of our NEW Center, we added the following features and updates not present in our original Center application:
New extensive Search Tool that allows searching with the Charges & Appointments tree itself, or within the entire database for People, Churches, or Organizations that do not normally appear within the Charges & Appointments tree, but can now be added temporarily for access to that data.
New custom User Settings to set personal preferences for displays and functionality within Center. This includes items such as setting the default function to open after login, setting of default District(s) and/or Charge Categories to load in the Charges & Appointments tree, and time saving functionality like the ability to set a default Start Date for a new Compensation record or Church Leadership position.
A user can now toggle the Auto-Refresh functionality of the Charges & Appointments tree on and off. This allows the user to continue making changes to Charges or Appointments within the tree without having to wait on the data to refresh after each save. When ready, a simple click of the Refresh button will update the entire view.
A click of the Hide Tree button, and you are able to hide the Charges & Appointments tree from view to expand the view of grids or to see more on a mobile device or other small screen. The Hide Tree button then toggles to become a Show Tree button to display the tree again when ready.
Charge Tools is the new tool to create new Charges for the Charges & Appointments tree, or to do Charge Realignments. With a step-by-step process and visual drag/drop functionality, it is easier than ever to quickly do the most complex Charge Realignments with ease!- Custom fields – We’ve added the ability for a Conference to add custom data collection fields to both person records and/or church records. These are Conference defined to allow the flexibility to gather data important to the mission or focus of your particular Conference.
GoTo buttons are everywhere! To expedite navigation to the persons or churches you want to view, we have added GoTo buttons in the Family Members grid, and also within the Pastoral History for a church within the Charges & Appointments function.- The Parsonage form is expanded to contain significantly more details including type of home, number of bedrooms, baths, square footage, year built, etc. There is also a place to record insurance details, trustee recommendations, and a picture gallery for visual documentation.
