Mark as Vicar
Each service in the Life Events Diary allows us to add the name of the person who will be taking the service, from the Minister dropdown menu.
For a person to appear in the Minister dropdown menu, that appears in all the Life Event services, we will need to mark them as a Vicar.
We can do this by going to People, finding the relevant person, clicking the Edit button and clicking the Churches tab. We will see a tick box labelled Vicar and we’ll need to tick the box alongside the relevant churches.
If the person has not already been added to the LED, we will need to add them first.
Add a new Vicar
To add a new Vicar into the LED, we will need to access the People module from the menu at the top of the page.
To add a new person, click the ‘Add Adult’ button, which we will find at the top right of the screen. We will then need to add some details for the new person.
The minimum information we need to add is a name and an email address. The email address will then act as the username and is where the password will be sent once the profile is complete.
If the person has indicated how they would prefer to be contacted, the relevant check boxes under ‘I am happy to be contacted by:’ can be ticked, or unticked, as required. We are also able to indicate if the person has given permission for us to store and process their data, by ticking the relevant tick box. Once we tick the box, we can add notes to record how permission was given and under what legal basis it is being granted.
Once all the details we have are completed, click the Save button at the bottom of the page. We can then follow the instructions at the beginning of the video to mark them as a Vicar.
