Databases – Web Only

The database section in your Pulse system was created to help reduce the amount of time it takes to create records and utilize the many additional features. We recommend that you designate a period of time to build the database; once the information is added, it can be easily accessed from various parts of the system. Enter the information once – and you won’t have to enter it again.

Navigate to System Settings > Databases.

The number of databases available depends on your system. All available options are listed below.

Clergy Members

1. Select the ‘Add Clergy Member’ button at the top right.
2. Enter the name of a clergy member and email address. Add the additional contact information if this is pertinent to your record keeping.
3. Clergy Approves Receiving Anniversary Notifications – check the box if the clergy member approves.
4. Anniversary Notification – once an email address is entered and the box is checked that indicates the clergy member has approved receiving email notifications. The clergy member will receive notice one week prior to the anniversary of death for any record that he/she is associated.

*Check the disable notification box if you do not want emails sent to this clergy member.
