Video Link Date Length Description
Task Visit 4/21/09 5:44  Scenario: A minister on staff using bvcms to complete a ministry visit that has been assigned to him in a task by the Church Growth minister.
Overview 4/28/09 9:02  An overview of most of the pages of the system.
Tags 5/1/09 5:58  Karen shows us how tags are used in the system. They work kind of like a shopping cart for people!
Forms/Reports 5/6/09 5:56  Karen shows us a few forms, reports and exports in bvcms. These are PDF files and Excel exports that are designed to be printed or manipulated externally to bvcms.
Attendance Reports 5/10/09 6:14  Karen shows us a few things about attendance reports, email notices and meetings in bvcms.
Email 5/14/09 5:08  Karen shows how bvcms allows you to send emails to a group of people, but make it so it looks like it came just to the individual. The body text can be personalized. Assistants can email on behalf of other people. And you can include attachments of any type.
QueryBuilder 5/16/09 10:31  Karen and I do a tag team video on how to use the bvcms QueryBuilder to construct a group of people we want to target for a Single parent’s Bible study event. This one’s a bit longer but we take it step by step and show you how you can build a complex query up by adding simple conditions one at a time.
Small Groups 7/30/09 12:22 

Karen and I demonstrate how Organizations can be divided up into small groups. This replaces what a lot of people were using personal/shared tags for, but it is a lot better since in this case, dropping a person from the organization roll will automatically remove them from the small group. Perfect for Care groups in a Bible Fellowship class, and for organizing your class or organization into sub-groups.

Note: you need to be a member of a role called ManageGroups for this feature to show up. You may have to create the role too.

In the intro, Karen and I show the new features of the Touchscreen check-in system. We have been adding lots of new features. We show specifically the Registration Mode, but it is very similar to the Check-in Mode.

In Scenario B-C, Karen shows variations of having brand new visitors, family members, etc.
