We are pleased to announce the release of January 2013 enhancements. All new features and enhancements are live and available to all subscribers now.
New Features and Enhancements
Church Membership Online
New Activity Log Report
A new report is now available called “Activity Log.” Using this report, you can view activity information for all Church Membership Online programs and filter by action, user, etc. for any date range. This is a great feature to give you visibility into what is happening in your church and also to track down changes that were made in your account.
This report is available to all Administrative level users.
New Duplicate Contributions Check
We have added a new logical check to ensure that duplicate contributions are not entered. The duplicate check compares contribution date, method, amount, category and notes. If all fields are identical a duplicate contribution error will be displayed and the system will prevent a duplicate contribution from being created.
Important Note: There are some rare instances where duplicate contributions are needed. For these cases, simply enter a different note in each contribution and you will be able to record the contributions without a problem.
This is a great new feature that will help ensure that your contribution records are accurate.
New Admin Option to Disable Individual Access Directory
A new option is available to Administrators in Admin -> Church Settings that will allow you to disable the directory in Individual Access. This option is helpful for churches that want to provide their congregation with the ability to update their personal contact information, download contribution statements and view pledge status but do not want to give access to other individual’s contact information within the church.
Vanco Online Giving Import Category Matching
The Vanco Online Giving Import has been updated to match Contribution Categories rather than just using the default Contribution Category for all imported online payments. This will give a greater level of detail for contributions imported via Vanco online giving.
Individual Access
New Activity Logging
Individual Access has been updated to include activity logging for Registration, Login and Personal Information editing. Any time an individual in your church registers for an Individual Access account, logs in to Individual Access or updates their Personal Information, an activity log record will be generated.
You can view Individual Access registrations, logins and personal information edits in your Activity Log report.
We hope you enjoy the new features and enhancements.
