It has been a busy last few months listening to clients, working on upgrades, making Churchteams continually better.

The last two weeks of every year I review and summarize sermon and Quiet Time insights I journaled that year.  These influence goal-setting for the following year. 

Most non-staff attenders and leaders use Churchteams by completing a form, responding to a push notification (email or text) or by using Text-to-Church^TM.  However, we've had a lot of requests for non-staff level access through a more traditional (email address with a password) login.  We released an upgrade yesterday to address this need.

We've found that no matter how detailed we get in the development stage, there are always things to sharpen when upgrades go into production.  This has been true of the Dashboard release we did at the end of October.  I already shared about the Search and Legal Name additions.  Here are a few more tweaks that we released just yesterday. Take some time to master them and you'll be more efficient with Churchteams than ever before.

The release of the new Dashboard went amazingly well last week.  We got a lot of great comments from you guys and there's a lot of excitement about it. 

Every year there seems to be a feature that stands out both in terms of our development effort and value to our friends.  Usually we look back on a year to determine that, but last night's release of The Dashboard is so significant that it's obviously the winner for 2019.  It's a big deal.

Thanks again to many of you, our friends, who constantly use the software and give us your feedback and thoughts on improvement.  Most of these six updates came from our conversations and were released in the last few months.  In fact, you've likely seen them already.  Software development is a continuous thing.  Not unlike spiritual development as I think about it.

The reason we invest a disproportionate amount of resources for a software company into support is development. 

Our clients are our friends and our friends are committed to giving us their honest feedback and best ideas on how to make their lives and this software better.   

NED gives you the power to communicate in a bold, fresh, new way.   He offers those of us who don't know how to code the ability to create incredible emails and email templates.  And we just released him into the Churchteams application.  NED is our Next generation EDitor. If you haven't met him already, let me introduce you

Happy Thanksgiving!  In our prayer time this morning, we remembered things about Churchteams for which we thank God.  Mark summarized it best: relationships. Not only incredible relationships with each other as a team, but incredible relationships with our clients and so many others.  In other words, you.  Here are a couple of fairly major upgrades that came from your ideas.  Hopefully you will find these very helpful.
