Group leaders can gain access to their group in three different ways:
Our recommended best practice is for Leaders to access their Group through the App/Text-to-Me page or a direct Leader Access Link for their group (options 1 or 2).
Option 3 is mainly intended for those who lead more than 1 group or want to access groups from a laptop or desktop computer.
- Text ME to your Text-to-Church number (if your church is using Text-to-Church) to see Groups in which they are Leaders or are set to Complete Meeting Reports. This method will allow them to bypass the initial log-in screen and rely on their security credentials as a group leader in the software for access to their Group. No need for a password.
- Access the Group by using a Leader Access Link directly to the Group. This link can either be from the Email Reminder (the email sent with the link to the attendance report). This link is a direct access to their group and can be used for viewing the group as well as taking attendance. The Group Link can also be emailed directly to the Group Leader by a staff member (or higher security access) going to the Group, clicking the blue Edit button, then Leader Access Links. From there, click the "Email update Group Information link to Leader(s)" button. Leaders can then save that link on their computer or smart device.
- Leaders can all be sent the Member Login (App) login link. This link is found as a bookmark on the Communicate > Website Integration page. Let them know to save this link as a bookmark or favorites page on their browser. Leaders will use the same login credentials they use to sign in as a Member when Giving or checking their Volunteer schedule for example.
