Configuration Tasks for Former Time & Talent Users
Configuration Tasks for First-Time Ministry Scheduler Users
If your organization is migrating to Ministry Scheduler from the Time & Talent module in the Parish Suite, all of the ministries, ministry groups, and events set up in Time & Talent are synchronized with Ministry Scheduler so that corresponding data fields are automatically populated with Time & Talent values.
Although synchronization simplifies the configuration process, you need to conduct a thorough review of the data to make sure that it is accurate and complete. The goal of your review is to make sure the information is complete (that every ministry group, ministry, and event in your organization is included) and that the information is correct.
After your Time & Talent data is brought into Ministry Scheduler, click to display the Configuration page. Do the following:
● Examine your configuration to determine if it is complete. You may find that you need to add new ministries, ministry groups, ministry roles, and/or events. If you need to do this, go to How to Add Ministry Groups, Ministries, Events, and Roles for instructions on how to add the missing elements to your configuration.
● Examine your configuration to determine if it is accurate. You may need to make changes (for example, you may need to change the name of a ministry or the time of an event) or remove ministries from your organization. To perform these types of editing tasks, go to How to Edit and Delete Ministry Groups, Ministries, Events, and Roles.
After you completely configure Ministry Scheduler, return to the schedule creation diagram and continue on to the next step.
If you are a first-time user, you must configure Ministry Scheduler from scratch to match your organization's specific requirements. The configuration process entails adding all of your organization’s ministry groups, ministries, and events that require scheduling.
To get started, go to How to Add Ministry Groups, Ministries, Events, and Roles and complete all of the procedures in that topic for each ministry that you want to add to your organization.
After add all of your ministries, ministry groups, roles (optional), and events, return to the schedule creation diagram and continue on to the next step.
