Print & Export
In this area of the Life Events Diary we can print labels to stick onto envelopes when we’re sending, for instance, invitation cards to invite contacts to services at Christmas, remembrance services, services at Easter or other special events.
Also in this area of the Life Events Diary, we can export email addresses of your contacts to import into your own email newsletter provider.
To access the Print & Export section of the LED, click the Print & Export button on the Dashboard.
Main
In the Main tab, which you will have been taken to, you can purchase labels from Church House Publishing, print labels for everyone in your TCO account, export contact details for everyone in your TCO account and access the Communication Suite.
We are able to purchase labels from Church House Publishing, by clicking the Buy Diary Compatible Labels button. This will take you to the Church House Publishing website where you can make your purchase. Label printing is made easier with the Diary Compatible Labels available from Church House Publishing. The labels will match up with the layout of the address labels you can create in the TCO.
Clicking the Print Labels for All People button, will generate a PDF file that contains the names and addresses of all people involved in Life Events that have been added to your Diary. These are formatted so that they can be easily printed on labels from Church House Publishing, or elsewhere.
The Export Contact Information for All People will produce a spreadsheet file that contains the contact details of all people involved in Life Events that have been added to your Diary. This can be used to import data into any third party solutions you may be using to keep in contact with people.
Finally, the Communication Suite button will take you to the Communication Suite in The Church Organiser. From here you are able to send Emails, SMS and Letters, as well as having another option for exporting to a spreadsheet file. There is another video that goes through using the Communication Suite.
Baptisms
Clicking the Baptisms tab will give you options to communicate only with people involved in Baptisms, in your LED.
You can set a date range, so you could contact people involved in a Baptism service in the next month, or all the families that have had baptisms in the last year.
You can also decide whether you would like to send communications addressed to just the Child, just the Parents, just the Godparents or any combination of the three.
As with the Main tab, you can choose to Print Labels, create a Contact Export or use the Communication Suite.
Banns & Weddings
The Banns and Weddings tabs will allow you to communicate with those involved in Banns events or Weddings, added to your diary.
You can set a date range, so you could contact people involved in a Banns service, or a Wedding, in the next month, or all the couples that have had Banns or Weddings in the last year.
You can decide whether you would like to contact just the Bride, just the Groom, or both.
Funerals
The Funerals tab gives you the opportunity to contact those involved with funerals that have been added to your diary.
As with the other tabs, you can set a date range and will be able to decide whether you would like to contact just the Main Contact, just the Key Person, or both.
