Add Banns
To add away Banns to the LED, we will need to click the Add Banns button on the Dashboard.
There are six tabs that will appear when we click the Add Banns button, the first, which will appear on the screen, is the Main tab. Here, we can add details for the reading of the Banns.
We can add a reference number, if we’re using them, and the number of guests that are expected to attend.
We will be able to add details of when the wedding is due to take place, where it will take place, where the Banns will be read, the minister who will read them and any additional notes.
Add Bride and Groom
The Bride and Groom tabs will allow us to add details of the couple who are to be married. If they are already in the LED, we will be able to use Search in Diary and their details will be completed automatically for us. We will be able to add a current address and a new address, if they are due to change address after they are married. We will also be able to upload any documentation, such as proof of nationality, for the bride and groom.
Marriage Measure
The Marriage Measure tab allows us to indicate who has the qualifying connection that allows the marriage to take place in the Parish.
Documents
In the Documents tab, we can upload any documents that we might need to keep attached to the banns. We’ll just need to click the blue upload button and then select the file from our hard drive. If we need to remove a document, we can simply click the red dustbin button to the right of the document.
To Do List
The To Do List contains a set of automated Processes that can remind us and our team to carry out certain tasks before, or after, an event.
If we want to alter the steps for an individual service, we can click the Edit button and click the pencil icon alongside the relevant step. This will allow us to change who the task is assigned to, the name of the task and the date it is due to be triggered. Once we’ve made our changes, we’ll need to click the Save button.
Once we reach the date that a particular step has been set to be triggered, the system will send an email to the person it has been assigned to, to remind them to carry out the task.
Notify
The Notify tab allows us to Notify different groups of people when a new service is added, or when changes are made to a service.
We just need to select which group, or groups of people we want to notify, by ticking the tickboxes alongside the relevant groups. When we save the service, an email will be sent to all those in the group to let them know that either a new service has been created or that a change has been made to an existing service.
