The Global~~, + (Plus) button persists on every page in Connections.
One of the menu options on that button is the ability to Log a Ministry Activity. Ideally, activities are recorded directly with individual contacts, but that’s not always possible. Here are the options when clicking on the + (Plus) button and when you would use them:
- Personal (with Contact Info)- When you select this, you will have the option to search for an existing contact, or create a new Contact and then record Ministry Activity. One scenario you could use this- if you’re doing random evangelism on campus and you get someone’s number and want to keep trying to meet with them.
- Personal (Anonymous) – When you select this, you’ll be able to enter all of your activity at once. This is used when you want to summarize all of your activity for the day, but you don’t know who the ministry was with. An example would be a Soularium Outreach on campus where you initiated and talked with a lot of people and you want to be able to record that activity at once.
- Group/Media – This will most likely be for events like large groups, social media campaigns, etc.
NOTE: If you record an activity with an individual, there is no need to record it anywhere else. The activity will be visible in Reports in Connections and eventually in infobase. *Please don’t record an individual activity AND complete the Personal (Anonymous) form.
