We're constantly updating and enhancing ChurchApp, often building directly upon customer feedback to guide our development. The following lists some changes that were made to ChurchApp between
3rd March - 12th April 2017.
ChurchApp
10-Apr-2017 - Booking overseer digest changes
We've made a change to booking overseer emails so that they're more useful. Overseers will still receive their digests at 7am and 12pm but now the 7am will only show additions, edits and deletions from the previous 19 hours and then 12pm digest will only show additions, edits and deletions from the previous 5 hours. This way a change will only be emailed to you once.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/122-creating-booking-types-and-resources
06-Apr-2017 - Booking details CSV
We've updated the CSV download from the booking details report. It's now a monster table showing you everything you could ever want to know about a booking on a single row.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/121-adding-and-viewing-bookings
05-Apr-2017 - Stripe Transfers Report
We've added some extra columns to the Stripe Transfers report in the Calendar and Bookings modules. You can now see booking Types and booking References on the report in the Bookings module, and you can now see the event Category on the report in the Calendar module.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/201-view-stripe-transfers-to-reconcile-payments-received
04-Apr-2017
BrandsAdministrators can now add Brands to ChurchApp. Got a specific logo, emblem or brand colour for your children's ministry, youth ministry, conferencing or outreach project? Well now you can use that logo and emblem and brand colour on relevant emails. A Branded Header and Branded Slimline template are created for each of your Brands.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/62-how-to-personalise-the-appearance-of-your-churchapp-account30-Mar-2017 - Booking communication
We've added a communicate button and communication log to bookings view. This way you can keep all communications related to a booking in one place for reference. Comms sent from the booking page are also logged against the booking contact/customer too, so wherever you are in the Bookings module, you always be up to date with recent correspondence.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/121-adding-and-viewing-bookings
30-Mar-2017 - Booking references
We've added a booking 'Reference' to each booking and booking sequence for use within your church. You can search by this reference and, by clicking on the reference, quickly see all bookings for the same sequence. The booking reference also shows on many of the Bookings module reports.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/121-adding-and-viewing-bookings
30-Mar-2017 - Rotas Overview 'Download CSV' option
We've added a 'Download CSV' option to the Rotas Overview report. This will show you, for a each date, who is serving in which ministry with their roles in brackets.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/300-viewing-multiple-rotas-in-a-single-report
30-Mar-2017 - Rotas csv download from rota view
We've added a 'Download CSV' option to the top of the rotas view. This will respect your current view (by role or by name) and will give you a simple tabular export of an individual rota.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/323-working-with-rotas-in-churchapp-once-theyre-created
30-Mar-2017 - New Smart Tag condition for "Has linked parent"
We've added a new Smart Tag condition to the Children module called "Has linked parent", which will help you identify children who are linked to a parent contact in your Address Book. Similarly, setting the condition option to "Has linked parent NO", you can identify all the children not currently linked to a parent contact in the Address Book.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/37-smart-tags
29-Mar-2017 - Missing Data report now includes missing Linked Parent option
The Missing Data report in the Children module now includes a new option for missing "Linked Parent", to help you quickly identify those children that don't currently have a linked parent in the Address Book.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/159-data-cleansing-duplicates-missing-data-potential-couples-gender-check
28-Mar-2017 - Children group team attendance
When viewing Children > Attendance, the page now shows a column for Team (as well as Children), meaning you can see at a glance how many team members you had in each of your children groups on any given date without having to view each group's attendance detail.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/392-child-check-in
27-Mar-2017 - Small groups view on Connect, Embed and My ChurchApp
Within the Small Groups module settings you now choose whether My ChurchApp, Embed or Connect include only "active" groups or "active and future" groups. Meaning that you can publicise future groups that have not yet started their sign up period. The article linked here is for My ChurchApp, but see also the related support articles for Connect and Embed.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/96-enabling-small-group-sign-up-through-my-churchapp
20-Mar-2017 - Address Book Smart Tags
You can now create Smart Tag conditions in the Address Book for the Contact email and mobile fields in the Address Book. Ideal for criteria to filter contacts who do/don't have an email or mobile.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/37-smart-tags
16-Mar-2017 - MailChimp tag sync
You can now choose a selection of tags to sync over to your MailChimp list. These can then be used within the filtering to create subsets and groups within one master list.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/64-how-to-integrate-mailchimp-with-your-churchapp-account
16-Mar-2017 - Attendance Percentages report
In the Children module reports, we've done away with the Attendance Averages report and replaced it with a new Attendance Percentages report, which now handles children in multiple groups and gives you a numerical representation of attendance to go with your percentage. It's still filterable by groups and tags and order-able by name or attendance.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/327-child-attendance-reporting
16-Mar-2017 - Attendance Summary report popover
In the Children module Attendance Summary report we now display the group the child checked in to in the report results. Just hover over the green ticks to see the group and session that they were checked in to.http://support.churchsuite.com/article/327-child-attendance-reporting
Connect
20-Mar-2017 - Connect My Details and Address Book Embed
We've added the ability to enable and/or require the Title field in Connect My Details and the Address Book embed form.
