Contact Persons Tab

The Contact Persons tab displays the contact persons for this church. This will typically be the pastor, but may also include a secretary, elders, a church office, etcetera.

The table on the left (with the Role / Name columns) shows the various persons involved in this church. On the right, details are displayed about that person. To see more information about that person, or update their details, click on the Persons name in the table.

NOTE: The Contact Persons tab on the Church Information form is different than the Contact Persons for the system. The difference is that this tab only shows persons for this particular church, while the other tab allows you to search all contact persons in the whole country, and add new contact persons as well.

Before a contact person can be selected for the church that person's name must already been entered in the system's Contact Person tab.  

How To Assign a Contact Person To A Church

To enter a new contact person for a church may require several steps:

Pre-requirements:

• You need to login to Harvest.
• You need to search for the church that you want to add a contact person to.
• You need to click on the name of that church so the details open.
• You need to click on the Contact Persons tab for that church.




Step 1

Press the green 'plus' button which will create a new contact person entry field:









Step 2

Then press the magnifying glass icon that will open up the Search Contact Person pop-up form









This form allows the user to search for an existing name. This form contains all contact persons in the database from all organizations. Note: Harvest stores the information about a contact person (such as a pastor) centrally, so that pastors can easily be assigned to multiple churches without having to re-enter their data every time.




If the person is already in the database the user selects the name of this person and presses the OK button to assign the contact person to this church. Click Save and you are finished.




If the person is not in the database additional steps 3-5 are required:




Step 3

The user needs to open another browser tab or window and enter their harvest URL (https://harvest.globalrize.org/NAME of your COUNTRY).  Since the user is already logged they do not have to login a second time. Hint: store your Harvest URL as a bookmark, so you can easily click on that bookmark instead of having to type it every time.




Step 4

The name of the new contact must be entered.  (see instructions on how to enter a new Contact Person)




Step 5

Once the new name has been entered into the system the user must return to the first tab and repeat step 2 to add the newly added contact person to this church.
