Big Picture – Creating Deputation Schedules

Just getting started?  Looking for something and not finding it?

Getting a Overview

Where to I start?

Here is an overview of the process with links to the respective articles for detail:

1. DGMD: Create a Macro Schedule and Approve it.  Macro Schedules are generally created by Headquarters, and will most times be imported from the Globalmissions.com website on a monthly basis.  Then you would just need to approve it.
2. Create Missionary Services within the Macro Schedule
3. The Pastor approves the Services.
4. Look for confirmations from the respective pastors for each service.
5. Look up the Missionary Service List and verify the status on the right of each line
6. Follow up with Pastors to make sure they approve the services at their respective churches.
7. A pastor may elect to have you approve the service for him.  When contacting a pastor, if it seems there may be difficulties or delays in approving services, this may be a practical way to get the schedules finalized.

From here there are other processes related to changes that may occur to Missionary Deputation Schedules, cancellations, etc.  See below for a quick overview and als search for “Schedule Changes” in the help site for more.
