Church data management just got a little more intuitive.

At eCatholic, we are dedicated to providing you with simple technology that helps you work to fulfill your mission in the Church. That’s why when it comes to the tools and digital products we offer, we’ll only make changes, updates, and improvements that we are certain will help you engage your members more effectively than ever.
 

A brand new look for your eCatholic ChMS

We’re excited to share a big update to the UI of the ChMS product. The UI (or, User Interface) is a phrase that describes all of the tools, navigation menus, buttons, and many other features that you interact with in the ChMS. Our dedicated team of developers and engineers have been hard at work building a brand new UI, and we are confident these changes will make your ChMS even more intuitive and truly simplify your day-to-day administrative work. 

Don’t worry - how you take actions and log data in the ChMS will remain pretty much the same when this new UI is implemented. The biggest change you can expect is a beautiful new style, an updated look for the ChMS navigation menu, and changes to your dynamic report menu actions. 
 

A new home for reporting…

Because this update modified the ChMS navigation menus, the dynamic action items that once appeared within the Reports menu have all been relocated. Our developers brought a great solution to the table by moving each action under its appropriate screen, so you can still quickly and easily download reports from the screen you are currently viewing.

Here is a list of Report actions that have been moved:

• The Family Register report is accessible within the Family Explorer
• The Fundraising report is accessible within Fund Maintenance
• The Confirmation Register and First Eucharist Register reports are accessible within Registration Maintenance
• The Attendance Sheet and Class List reports are accessible within Class Maintenance
• The Busy Weeks and Scheduling Report reports are accessible within Service Maintenance
• The Family Giving Analysis report is accessible within the Family Explorer (Diocese Administrators Only)

Now that you're up to speed, know that the future is certainly bright! As we look towards more product improvements, this update is a big step towards providing a unified user experience across all of the eCatholic products, so you can have confidence in a platform that helps you engage parishioners like never before, and we’re honored to serve you along the way.
