App System

System Owner: 
The system owner will be responsible for coordinating the people who will keep the app up to date and looking great. They will be the point person for any changes to the app specifically and will work together with the Website system owner to make sure both the website and app have the same information available.

Purpose/Scope: 
The purpose of the App is to have a place with easy access to all the content that our church offers. We want those who are seeking more information about theCrossroads to have an easy and centralized place to go to find all of that information wherever they are. Most people are going to check out a church online or on social media before they visit in person. Keeping our app current and appealing is of the utmost importance.

Procedure: 

Getting Started - First, any admin or editor will need to be added by one of our church Subsplash administrators in the back office of Subsplash dashboard online. They will do so by going to https://dashboard.subsplash.com/auth/login and logging in with their log in information.
● Once inside the dashboard, click “Settings” on the left side of the page, then click “Users” on the left side of the page.
● If you do not see the person that needs to be added, then click on the blue button in the top right hand corner of the page that says “Invite user”. You will then be prompted to invite them via email.
● Once they respond and get logged in, they will be able to have whatever access you have granted them.

LOG IN - using the process above with your email and password. (Go to https://dashboard.subsplash.com/auth/login and log in.)

CLICK ON APP - On the left side of the page, click the tab that says “APP”, then click again on the tab that says “Mobile App”.This will take you to the main app section. On the top you will see Home, Give, Media, Kids, and Bible. Most of what you will need to update will be under the Home section. Give and Media are both set up already and don’t need to be changed. The Kids section is typically updated by Sis. Tiffany Hansbro, but may be something that would need to be updated by you. The Bible portion is set up to our Bible plan and will only need to be updated when this plan ends.

UPDATES - When you are on the Home page you will see that it says “Content” this is where you will need to be in order to find the sections you are needing to update. To make an update
  • Click the content you are wanting to update 
  • Make the update that you are needing to make
  • Click the blue save button in the top right corner once you have verified that everything looks okay 

CREATE NEW - If you are needing to add new content to the app then you will want to follow these steps.
  • Click the blue plus sign under the “Content” box on the Home page 
  • You will then have a box pop up on the right side of your screen. Most of what you will be adding will be Media Series, Media Item, List, and Events. Calendar and Live Media Item will be handled by the Calendar System owner and the Fill in Notes System owner. You may still want to check on these and make sure that they are current and up to date. If you notice anything is wrong with those then you will want to work with those system owners and the Creative Team leader to make sure that it gets corrected.
  • After adding the content you will then be able to click on it and update it the same way you would make an update to existing content.
  • Once you add what you are needing to add you would click the blue save button on the top right of the page. 

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS - If you are doing your best and get stuck or are having issues don’t just keep clicking and get frustrated. Call or text your team leader or pastor and get some input before you throw in the towel or mess up something by just clicking around.
