About the Teams Page

The Minister/Member Teams page contains settings that enable you to create and manage teams. By creating teams, you can connect ministers who have a common purpose but who are not in the same immediate family. Depending on specific scheduling needs, you can also specify that individual members of a team be kept together or kept apart.


Overview of the Teams Page

The Teams page is divided into two sections:

       Available Teams: shows all of the teams in the selected organization. Contains command buttons to let you add a new team, edit existing teams, and delete a team.

       Selected Team: the top portion shows the name and general information for the team selected from the Available Teams list. The bottom portion shows the names and contact information for individuals on the team. The system lets you create two types of teams: member teams and minister teams.

The following illustration shows you an example of the information provided for a member team. The section on the right shows the name of the team selected from the Available Teams list. You can see the names of all members on the team along with specific information for each member, such as the member's name, age, and phone number.

The following illustration shows you an example of the information provided for a minister team. The section on the right shows the name of the team selected from the Available Teams list. You can see the name of each minister on the team along with other pertinent information, such as the minister's name, age, and phone number as well as the specific ministry event the minister is assigned to.

Organization List

The organization associated with your ParishSOFT login credentials automatically appears in the Organization list, which is located in the upper-right corner of the Teams page.

If you manage multiple organizations, select the organization that you want to view from the list to display that organization's teams.
