About Members
Profiles and accounts, the Members page, and who can see what.
Members is your church's list of people: everyone you schedule, text, or add to a group. Each person has a profile with their name, phone, email and birthday. Staff keep that list up to date from the Members page.
Profiles and accounts
A profile and an account are not the same thing:
- A profile is the person in Scheduly. Staff can add one for anyone. You can schedule them, put them in groups, and they get texts and emails at the phone and email on their profile.
- An account is a way to sign in. When someone signs in for the first time, Scheduly links their sign-in to their profile. Then they can see their schedule, reply on the site, and add their own blockouts.
So you don't have to wait for people to sign up. Add them, schedule them, and they can reply from the text they get. They can sign in whenever they like. See How people get an account.
The Members pageStaff
Open Members in the menu. On a phone, it's under More.
- Add member (marker 1 on the screenshot) adds someone (Add a member).
- Upcoming birthdays (marker 2 on the screenshot) shows whose birthday is in the next 30 days.
- Search (marker 3 on the screenshot) and the filters (marker 4 on the screenshot) find people (Find people).
- Select a name to see their contact info, birthday and groups on the right (marker 5 on the screenshot), with Open profile and Edit.
Scheduly can set your church to approve new accounts first (What Scheduly sets up for you). If it does, admins see the ones waiting at the top, under Pending accounts (Pending accounts).
Who can do what
| Who | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Everyone signed in | See and edit their own profile. Open other people's profiles from an event or a group: they see the name, picture and groups, not the phone, email, birthday or address. |
| Staff | Use the Members page: see everyone's contact info and birthdays, add members, edit anyone's profile, and remove anyone's picture. |
| Admins | Everything staff can do, plus make people staff or admins, disable accounts, upload someone's picture, and see disabled accounts. |
To make someone staff or an admin, or to disable an account, see Staff, admins and disabled accounts. To change your own details, see Edit your profile.
