New! Did you know you can pre-print labels and do daily attendance?
Churchteams has so many solutions for common church problems that it's hard for us to keep them in front of people. We've recently done some upgrades to nine of these, so I'll use the opportunity to give you some extra insight into two of them. Below that is a list and then an explanation of each upgrade.
Problem: Registration and check-in don't work together. We solved this by building best-in-class level features for both. They are not modular in design, so there is no exchange of information between the systems. They are completely integrated. However, check-in for events is different than weekly check-in. Churches requested the ability to pre-print name tags to help with relationship building and minimize check-in. We released that feature in 2022. Upgrade #1 takes that functionality to an even more convenient level!
Problem: We want to use check-in for our school or pre-school. From the very beginning our check-in system had the ability to do daily check-ins including capturing attendance. The tricky part a couple of years after the launch was creating new options to report attendance daily rather than weekly. We added that a few years ago. Upgrade #7 below adds the weekday name to the report. Pretty nice!

Five company bright spots and one reason we do what we do.
For me, Christmas sheds a great light on the previous year. Does it you? I have been a journaler for decades. During the month of December I review my entries for the year and narrow them down to a few highlights that the Lord has said to me and is working out in my life. These become my objectives to review and work on the next year.
I just did a similar thing by reviewing the New Release blog posts and reflecting on our business process improvements. I looked over them and narrowed them down to these five bright spots for 2023.

New in the App! Chat, your logo on login, and remove features.
Six weeks ago we released the Member App. Many of our clients have jumped in with both feet using all of the features. Some have other systems in place that are similar and are still in process of evaluating how to best use the Churchteams App.
Still others haven't jumped in. If that's you, come on in! The water is great. You'll love the functionality for staff as well as members.
As is usual in a release of this magnitude, new insights and ideas come up as people swim around in it. We've already done several upgrades and just released four more. The first two add to the App. The last three are settings that hide extra parts of the app.

3 reasons the new, staff access upgrade to the Member App is significant
Yes! We've been on an exciting journey the last couple of weeks as we rolled out the new Member App. Our thanks to so many of you for sharing your time in the briefings (recording), your excitement about the feature, and your kind words.
In a previous blog I mentioned that there are always tweaks, and often new ideas that come after a release. This one was no different. The most significant one empowers staff in a completely new way on their mobile phones. They can now use the full software through the Member App. Yes!
By staff, I am referring to anyone that has been given access to the software at the coach level and higher. These are assigned under Settings > Users.

Answers to 6 important questions about our Member App coming next week
We built and have promoted the use of texting in church for a very long time. There are things we do with Text-to-Church that are amazing.
But, for many months now we've been working on a "not so" top secret project that is ready to launch next week, our brand new - MEMBER APP. It is designed to give your church members and regular attenders easy, contemporary access to everything they need.
We plan to release it next Monday night, then Tuesday morning send you an email introducing the app with a list of specific features and an introductory video that will demonstrate the User Experience. We will also release Knowledge Base articles for customizing what groups, events, and resources are included in the app. In addition, we are going to offer a couple of Zoom webinars with our team to overview and discuss it live.
Register for Member App Briefing (8/24 or 8/30)
In preparation for that, here are answers to 6 questions behind our vision for this latest, very exciting upgrade.
