How to Create a Sacrament Report
You can create sacramental reports from your organization's
database records for the following types of sacraments:
● Baptism
● Confirmation
● Funeral
● First
Eucharist
● Marriage
To create a report:
- If you manage multiple organizations,
select the desired organization from the Organization
list.
From the Report
Type menu, select Sacrament.
A list of sacrament reports is displayed
in the Report menu:
Your ability to see sacrament
data is controlled by your diocese. If your diocese chooses to hide a
specific sacrament, the sacrament does not appear in the Reports
menu. If your diocese chooses to hide all sacraments, the Sacrament option
does not appear in the Report Type
menu. If your diocese removes the restriction to hide a sacrament, the
system adds the name of the sacrament back to the Reports menu. If the
Sacrament option was removed from
the Report Type menu, it is reshown
after visibility of any individual sacrament is enabled.
- Select the desired sacrament report from the Report menu.
For example, select Baptism
to view your organization's baptism records.
- In the Report Format
section, select a report format option:
- Condensed:
this option is designed to
save paper because it uses a wider page layout that enables you to
print approximately 10 records per page. The system keeps the contents
of individual records together and does not split the contents across
pages. If information in a column is too long to display in the allotted
space, it wraps to the next line. This version of the report is suitable
for a parish to submit to the diocese.
- Expanded: this option follows the format
of the legacy desktop application's sacramental register. Prints one
to two records per page.
- Use the date picker to create a report listing
the sacraments that took place within a given date range. To display
the date picker, click the calendar button
in the
Start Date and End
Date fields, and then select the desired date range.
The default End
Date value is set to today's date. The default Start
Date value is set to today's date in the previous year.
If you want to create a report
for a specific day only, select the same date for the start date and the
end date.
- Click
.
The report is displayed in the Report Viewer.
