Member Portal Overview and Options
The Member Portal in Empower Church Management Software (ChMS) allows your congregation to log in to a segregated database of member data. It allows members to access and update their personal information, view the church directory (if set up to), view their contributions, and more - all through a user-friendly online interface.
Key Features of the Member Portal:
Member Portal Status: Easily manage the accessibility and functionality of the portal through various settings. You can enable or disable the portal, allowing members to update their data and manage their preferences.
User Permissions: Customize what members can do within the portal. Options include allowing users to update their information, make changes while out of town, and whether such changes require administrative review.
Personal Statuses Allowed to Login: Define which personal statuses have access to the portal. Options include all personal statuses that you have previously defined, ensuring that only appropriate individuals can log in.
Terms of Service: Ensure compliance and proper use of the portal with clear terms of service. Members agree not to use the directory for commercial purposes, maintaining a focus on church-related communication. The Terms of Service allows you to customize the message that your members see and accept when first signing up for the Member Portal.
Activity Visibility: Decide whether members can view activities within the portal.
Mass Communication: Utilize the "Mass Send Member Portal Invitation" feature to efficiently invite members to join and participate in the portal.
Getting Started:
To set up and manage your Member Portal, navigate to Utilities > Options > General > Member Portal. Here, you can configure all aspects of the portal to best suit your church's needs.
