ParishSOFT Offering, like all of the applications in ParishSOFT Family Suite, is available on the Web 24/7. This topic describes the hardware and software components that must be present on your computer.
No special hardware is needed. ParishSOFT Offering runs on any MAC or PC device using the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
For security reasons and for the best user experience, we recommend that you use the latest versions of the following browsers:
● Microsoft® Internet Explorer
As
of the 4.37 release of ParishSOFT Family Suite, we ended support of the
Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) browser. If you continue to use IE8 after the
4.37 release, new and existing ParishSOFT Family Suite features and functionality
may not work. In addition, we are no longer investigating or fixing problems
and application performance issues determined to occur in IE8 only.
● Microsoft Edge
● Firefox and Firefox Quantum
● Chrome
● Safari
If you do not have one of these browsers installed on your system, you must install or upgrade to one of them before you can log in.
ParishSOFT Offering also works with Smartphone browsers so that pastors, staff, and church members with proper login privileges can access records in the system from any location (for example, hospitals, private homes, and shelters) from their mobile devices.
Updating your browser is important. Keeping your web browser up to date not only enables you to take advantage of the latest performance enhancements made to ParishSOFT Family Suite but also protects your computer from exposure to security threats that can put your data at risk.
Please take a moment to verify whether you are using the latest browser version. And, keep your browser updated regularly for the best experience and for your own safety and security.
Pop-up windows (or menus) are special types of windows that sometimes display when you click a button or select an option with the mouse. They give you quick access to the application’s functions.
By default, some browsers block pop-up windows. All browsers, however, contain an option that enables you to control whether or not pop-up windows can display. If you receive a message informing you that pop-up windows are blocked, you must change the browser’s pop-up window setting to allow them.
Pop-up windows, or pop-ups, vary in size and typically display in a small area of the screen. To use ParishSOFT Offering, you must allow pop-up windows and menus to display. If they cannot display, you may have trouble viewing pages, displaying reports, or using certain features in the application. For instructions on how to allow pop-up windows, consult your browser's Help.
