Promoting Classes or Groups

Graphical user interface, application

Description automatically generated

Promotions in ShelbyNext Membership is an intuitive process once you understand where to go and the basic logic.

 

Essentially, you are MOVING (not copying or adding) records from one Group to a different Group. To start, find the Group the records are coming from and check the names you want to move. Next, click the 3-dot (More) icon and choose “Move to Group” from the dropdown menu. Choose the destination group and bingo, all those records have moved from the old to the new group.

 

Key thing to remember!! ALWAYS PROMOTE FROM THE TOP GROUP DOWNWARD. (Emptying out each group before adding the new group members. Hint: Move 12th grade before promoting the 11th grade.)

 

You can learn more by reading our help article and get best practices from our Shelby Trainers by watching our recent webinar recording on Promotions and Groups.

Stay Connected With Your Congregation Via A Mobile App (August 25th)

Your church leaders and attenders should be able to connect, engage, and communicate in one convenient location. That’s why ShelbyNext includes a free mobile app, and if your ShelbyNext church management is integrated with giving, you get 2 apps  – one for church leaders and one for church members.

Join us for a webinar on August 25 at 12 pm CT to see how Shelby’s mobile apps can help:

  • Your church attenders - Give. Watch media. Register for events. Increase church engagement. This powerful church app was built by people who really understand the Church.
  • Empower church leaders, anywhere - access to accomplish daily tasks with ease, such as looking up attenders contact information, inputting attendance, sending mass emails and text messages, managing groups, and more. As a result, it’s never been easier to connect with your congregation!
