By selecting either the General or the Confidential tab under the Notes Tab will give you access to the different note sections. General This is an area where you can place any general comment or note about the individual. All users can see this tab unless they are limited by the System Administrator. Confidential This is an area where you can place any confidential note about the individual. Confidential notes are restricted to the User ID that put the note into the system, unless you opt to allow your notes to be shared with other users of the Servant Keeper system.

51

Important Events Tab

The Important Events area is used to record information based on events in the individuals life and their corresponding comments. Events such as births, deaths, graduations, awards, achievements, moves and other life changes are significant in understanding an individuals background and mindset. You can print an important event report for the month showing highs and lows of people, indicating the need of prayer, maybe a card that needs to be sent, or an appointment that needs to be scheduled.

53

Alt Addr/Phone Tab

Alternate Address This is where you will put the Individuals Alternate Address. The Alternate Mailing Address is used when the individuals are located at a different address but still want to receive mailings, newsletters, bulletins, etc. The Alternate Mailing Address will show up on individual mailing labels and individual church directories, based on the date range you assign to it. Other Phone Numbers This is where you can put in the individuals Fax and Pager numbers along with three additional phone numbers. There is also an area that allows you to put in a seven digit extension for each additional phone number. Email / Website Addresses New to Version 6 is the ability to track multiple email address separately and an individual website address. You can also now mark these Emails and Websites as Unlisted to prevent them from showing up on reports. Next to each individual email address there is a send email button that allows you to quickly send an email to that specific address. Also there is a quick view web page button next to the Website Address field.

55

More Info Tab

Cell Church Information The Cell Church Information fields are provided for churches with a cell church organizational structure. If your church does not use the cell church structure or if you use different terminology, these fields are also user defined or extra fields that can be renamed to fit your organizations needs. User Defined (Extra), Attribute Boxes, Dates & Check Boxes New to Version 6, we have expanded the amount of User Defined (Extra) fields you have used to track information. The user defined (extra) fields allow you to tailor Servant Keeper to the needs of your organization, church, or ministry. This tab includes 5 text boxes, 5 Drop Down List boxes, two multiple selection (attribute) list boxes, 4 date fields, and 3 check boxes. Each and every one of these can be relabeled to anything your organization needs to track what we do not already have specified. Teacher Category & For School Class The Teacher Category field allows you to assign an individual as a Teacher or Helper for a Sunday School class. The For School Class field allows you to assign in which Sunday School class this person is a Teacher or Helper for. This persons name will appear on the top of the Sunday School Class Roster.

57

Overview Tab
Contributions

The Contributions Overview tab provides those with the proper security access, quick access to view an individuals contribution or pledge history. NOTE: No contributions can be added, modified or deleted from this view only tab. This screen contains a summary listing of contributions or pledges, depending on which radio button you select at the top left corner of the tab window. Default view is of contributions for the current year-to-date. This screen will display the Date, Amount, Type, Account Name, Tax, Check/Credit Card #, and Notes columns. All of the individuals contributions will appear in chronological date order in the view window. Attendance

The Attendance Overview tab provides, those with the proper security access, quick access to view an individuals attendance history. NOTE: No attendance can be added, modified or deleted from this view only tab.
59

This screen shows attendance history throughout the current year, each month, by each week in that month.

At the bottom of each month column is a total number of events attended during that month. By double-clicking on the number in the week cell or the month total cell a window will open to show exactly which events were attended and the dates of those events.

60

Family Profile

The Family Profile contains information pertaining to the whole family. The Family Profile shows the family name, family address, status and phone information, as well as emergency contact information. You can group the family using the Mailing Codes, specifying if they receive the Newsletter or the Church Bulletin. The Family Profile also shows all the individuals and their relationship within the family. You can save general comments about the family on the Family Profile Notes tab. These is also a place to track alternate family address information for those family that may travel during the winter months, but still want to receive the Church Bulletins or Newsletters. You also have the option of tracking family relatives. From the Family Profile you can edit profiles of individuals in the family ([Edit Individual Profile]), you can remove an individual from the family ([Move to New Family]), or you can change the relationship of an individual in the family ([Change Relationship]). You can also change your Family Profile into an organization profile for tracking Churches, Businesses or Ministries. Every family has to start with a Head of Household, even if that family is actually an organization. So first put in the Contact or Organization leaders information, making sure you put in the organization name in the Employer field on the individual profile, because when you switch from a family to an organization the Employer field populates the Organization Name on the Organization Profile. You also want to remember that any changes to the familys address information should be made on the Family Profile, because the Family Profile populates the individuals in that family instead of you having to change the information manually on each persons individual profile
61

Family Profile Tab

The family profile tab contains the name, address, and basic family information. Most information on the family profile is copied automatically from the individual profile of the Head of Household.

63

Family Notes

This is an area where you can place any general comment or note about the family. All users can see this tab unless they are limited by the System Administrator.

65

More Information

Family Alternate Address This is where you will put the Familys Alternate Address. The Alternate Mailing Address is used for when family is located at a different address but they still want to receive mailings, newsletters, bulletins, etc. The Alternate Mailing Address will show up on family mailing labels and certain church directories, based on the date range you assign to it. User defined (Extra) fields & dates New to Version 6, we have expanded the amount of User Defined (Extra) fields you have available. The user defined (extra) fields allow you to tailor Servant Keeper to the needs of your organization, church, or ministry. This tab includes 4 text boxes, 4 drop down list boxes, and 2 date fields. Each and everyone of these can be relabeled to anything your organization needs to track. Relationships This section allows you to list other people related to the family. The individuals added here are not shown elsewhere in the program and are not linked to individuals already in the database.

67

Find
One of the powerful features of Servant Keeper is the Find feature. By selecting Edit | Find, <Ctrl>+<F> keys, or by Clicking on the magnifying glass icon on the Tool Bar, you can search for individuals based on any field on the Individual Profile. By default, Find is set to search on Name/Env # field.

You can specify for the find to Match the Case or to Include In-Active Records in the Search. And with certain fields you can do a Contains With search (i.e. like the Address 1 field).

69

Name/Env# Search
The Name/Env # selection allows searching for an individuals envelope number, a first name, a last name, or a combination of the first and last name. The Find Feature will take everything to the left of the first space and apply it to searching in the first name field and everything after the first space and apply it to the last name field. If no spaces are used then Find assumes only an envelope number or a last name search.

Envelope # Search

If you enter an envelope number in the Search For: field the system will quickly find and display the individuals name when you Click the [Find] button or press the Enter key. Press the Enter key or double-Clicking on the individuals name will open their Individual Profile.

NOTE: If the envelope # is not assigned to an individual, no name will be displayed.

First Name Search

If you enter any characters followed by a space jo , Find will search the whole database for any individual whose first name begins with those characters. This search would find names like Jon, John, JoAnn, Jonathon, Jorge, etc. any first name that begins with jo.

Last Name Search

71

If you enter any characters without a space s, Find will search the whole database for any individual whose last name begins with those characters. This search would find names like Smith, Steinbacher, Strickland, etc. any last name that begins with s.

NOTE: If the last name has a space in it, Van Morrison you cannot search on this last name alone because of the space. You would have to search on either V or Van or by using the first character of the first name and then the first character of the last name.

First and Last Name Search

If you enter someones full name Ed Newman or just their initials e n both search in similar manners. Everything to the left of the first space is searched for in the first name field and everything to the right of the first space is searched for in the last name field. Where they differ is that the first search will be narrowed down to just those individuals with the first name of Ed and the last name of Newman, but the second search will find anyone whose first name starts with e and last name starts with n.

The best way to search for individuals is by a few characters of their first name ed and a few characters of their last name ne. This can narrow down the search much more effectively.

72

Searching by other fields

You are not limited to searching on the Name/Env# field. If you select the Search In: Drop Down List, you will notice that you have every field from the Individual Profile available for you to search on. New in Version 6 is the ability to search within fields, like being able to use the Address 1 field and search for something that is contained within the Address 1 field. For all other fields the search uses a "starts with" search.

Using the Mouse You can Click on the Search In Drop Down List and Click on the field you wish to search in. Click in the Search For field. If the field is a text box just type in the Value you want to search for. If the field is a Drop Down then you Click the drop down arrow and scroll down and Click on the value you want to search for. Then Click on the [Find] button. Using the Keyboard You can Shift-Tab to highlight in the Search In" Drop Down List and start to type the field name you want to Search In. Then press the Enter or Tab Key to move to the Search For field. If the field is a text box just type in the Value you want to search for. If the field is a Drop Down then you can start typing in the value to find it in the Drop Down List and press Enter to select the value. Press the <Enter> key to begin the search Partial Word Searches Anytime you are running a search you can search on the beginning of the word. By typing in the first few beginning characters of your search value your search will be expanded to include all values that start with those characters. (i.e. Search In: Last Name; Search For: Sm; This will show all individuals whose last name begins with Sm.) NOTE: This Partial search only works on the Text box and Phone number fields. Drop Down List and Date fields need to have a specific value in for them.

73

The reason to use this tool is to verify that the cash total calculated from the coin and bill counts equals the Contribution Entry Log cash total. If these two cash totals do not match, a mistake was made in either the entry of a cash gift, or in the count of the coins or bills. If you find that the totals do not match, click Save to keep the counts that were entered and then try to find your mistake either on the Contribution Entry Log or here in the Bank Deposit Report, and make the correction.
