View / Edit Organization

Note: This page highlights the specifics for the data entry form of organizations. There is also generic help on how to use data forms.

This screen allows you to view and/or edit the information about an organization or denomination, or add a new organization:

• The Parent field indicates the denomination/organization to which this organization belongs to. In the example above, the denomination "Alliance Church Association" belongs to the church council "Evangelical Fellowship Thailand".

• The Type field indicates the type of organization. This may be a denomination, but also a para-church organization, church council, classis, etcetera.
• The Default Sub Type field indicates what types of organizations are typically "part of" the current organization.
• For example, a church council will typically have denominations that are part of it. Or some denominations are divided into "districts".
• The Default Sub Type is used by the Church Location Map. At this map the user can search for churches by denomination. The system will first list all denominations that do not have a 'parent' filled in. When a user selects one of these organizations, Harvest will show the available sub-organizations. So, if the first selection was a church council, for example, it should show a list of "denominations".
• Do not worry too much if the organization has multiple types of sub-organizations. It is just a label, nothing more.

Difference Between Title and Role




At this screen you will find a 'Title' field, and different 'Roles' as well. In the example above they are the same, which may lead to confusion.




The Title field simply means how you would address this person in a letter. Do you say "Reverend John Doe", or "Pastor John Doe", or "Prof. Dr. John Doe"? Or simply "Mr. John Doe"?




The Role field (in the table below) is the role that a person has within a church, organization or denomination. This can be anything from (Youth) Pastor, Secretary, Board Member, etcetera.




So while a person only has one title (mr, ms, dr, rev, etc) they can have many different roles (pastor, secretary, board member).
