Setting up multiple services in a macro schedule

Part of the power of the GMDeputation system is the ability to open up a Missionary Schedule (Macro Schedule) and schedule successively multiple services without having to open the schedule up again. When you select a Macro Schedule to use for scheduling services, you can see the existing services at the bottom of the screen so you know where you are starting. Once you schedule a new service here, it will only show the service you just created. Here is a video to show you the options you have here to improve service visibility in the Add a Missionary Service screen:

This should help you to make you most productive when opening a Macro Schedule to create new services. Stay tuned for changes and enhancements here to improve the work flow as we continue.

Start at the Beginning

What is a Macro Schedule?

A Macro Schedule is a single line of a Missionary Deputation Schedule. It contains the following information:

Missionary
District
Start Date
End Date
Notes

This is a direct output of the deputation schedule that UPCI Headquarters, Global Missions Division generates. Essentially, when a missionary goes on deputation, he has a Deputation Schedule, and a series of Macro Schedules.

Macro Schedules can be IMPORTED by the GMDeputation admins. These are generally taken from the GlobalMissions.com website or from the Global Missions Division in some other fashion and then imported using an Excel file. However, it may be necessary for a DGMD to create new macro schedules for missionaries deputizing in his district.

Creating a Macro Schedule

Here are the steps involved in creating a new Macro Schedule:

Make sure the Missionary is in the User Database by looking him or her up in the User
Go to the Appointment menu
Click on Missionaries in District
Click Add New at the top menu
Enter all of the information required as indicated with the Arrows, and then click Save.
Verify that the record was added by looking it up (a good reason to give a good description when creating a Macro Schedule!)
Now your Macro Schedule is ready to receive appointments!
