ServiceBuilder

I've now created custom categories that allow you to add any elements to a collection, or to multiple collections.

I've added an experimental button on the services page for email all scheduled. It's an envelope with little people next to it-- give it a try, and feedback how that works, please.

NEW: I've added a checkbox in the sendmessage window which allows messages to go out immediately. They are not queued, they don't have personalization, but all the names are included in the TO box.

You can make changes to this hymnal using this link:

Hi Wendall, you do this under profile. You must enter the "edit profile" section.

ServiceBuilder is set up to allow for personal links in the elements list as well as public links. So, if you find a link that you think is generally better for the community than the one that is there, or if there isn't one there, and you decide to help out by adding one, use the public link.

If, on the other hand, you would like to link to an element online and you know it will be of no use to the general community, then use the private link.

The easiest way to access this private link is here:
http://servicebuilder.net/#!/element/127099
...on every element page. There is a private URL place.

If you are on the settings page,
http://servicebuilder.net/#!/settings/elements/choruses
...then those URLs are public.

Thanks for the question!

OK, there is definitely a bug there-- I will begin tracking it down and let you know when it's finished.

UPDATE:
I found the problem... if you add a person to a group, but don't give them a role within that group, then they will not be scheduled.

So you must actually give group members a role of some sort.

If a role is not intuitively necessary for the group in question, for example if the group is a children's choir that doesn't necessarily have assigned parts (soprano, alto, tenor and bass are not relevant), then create a placeholder to use (such as vocalist in this instance).

If the group is a drama troupe, you might consider naming them all actors.

If the group was an elder board, you might consider naming them all participants.

I hope this clarifies the problem and is a good enough solution.

I have added a warming on the groups page that you must assign roles to your groups.

As you can imagine, doing this for free means that thousands of churches have registered, and getting lots of emails from good-intentioned people asking for a way to print an order of service can be overwhelming.

I think that by having a chat feature built into the site where you can talk to me instantly if I'm online, as well as this forum for bug reports and feature suggestions is a pretty good alternative to giving out my personal email.

Thanks for your suggestion-- I've added a delete function to the site, under settings.

Only an administrator can change your username; and you cannot change your own username, even if you are an admin.

If you are an admin, one way to change it is to create a temporary admin account, then after logging in to this new account, change your username on the original admin account.

When finished, log back in with the new username, and delete the temporary admin account.

I know this is a nuisance, but it's necessary at this time.

ServiceBuilder already has this feature.

Please let me know:
1. which browser you're using so I can try to replicate the problem.
2. Where abouts in the application (from what screen) is this not behaving as expected

Thanks!

Hi JonWesley, it is fully integrated-- perhaps you can give me more information as to what is wrong?

Good point Dale, I'll look into adding a simpler method.

This has been integrated.

Part of the integration involves checking to see if the CCLI Number has already been added to a song before adding the new song.

If it has, you won't be able to save the new song.

Hopefully this will help with both preventing duplicates, and finding songs that you are looking for.

Somehow I overlooked this bug report, sorry!

First, I recommend that you change your password to something you can remember, under your profile.

Second, if allow ServiceBuilder to access your Facebook account, you'll get logged in automatically if you're logged into Facebook already.

Let me know if these solutions are good enough for your situation.

Thanks!
