Each site has one administrator account to support administration of your site. The administrator is responsible for supporting the various aspects of the church site (adding members, resetting passwords, updating announcements, etc.). The administrator is not required to have any programming or exceptional computer skills. Everything the administrator does is via simple fill in the blank forms on the website. Although, the administrator should be someone who regularly goes online and checks their email because requests for assistance from your church members will be communicated via email.
You can log in to your administrator area by clicking here. The following are the tasks that the administrator can perform after logging in to the church administration area:
Update Church Announcement - This tool allows you to post your church announcements on the front page of your site. Announcements are typed into the simple form. There is not a length limitation on the announcements. HTML can be included in the announcements area.
Record/Edit Contributions - This tool allows you to record your members charitable giving. You can enter new contributions or edit contribution records you have entered previously.
