This month's CareNote updates include a comprehensive Group View Dashboard, enhanced User Dashboard experience, and improved Pastor on Call scheduling functionality. As always, we're committed to helping your care ministry teams respond more effectively and work more efficiently.


Core Platform Improvements

Enhanced User Dashboard

We've completely refreshed the User Dashboard to provide clearer navigation and more intuitive access to your most important care tasks. The updated interface helps care team members quickly find what they need and stay focused on serving others.

Improved Care Report Actions

Enhanced visibility controls for care report actions ensure team members see only the options relevant to their role and responsibilities. This streamlined approach reduces confusion and helps maintain proper workflow boundaries across your care ministry.

Better Form Submission Handling

Expanded capacity for processing large volumes of form submissions means your care request intake can handle busy seasons without interruption. Whether it's a holiday season surge or special event responses, the system now manages higher volumes seamlessly.


New Features

Group View Dashboard

The new Group View Dashboard provides care coordinators with a comprehensive overview of all active care groups and their activities. This centralized view makes it easier to track multiple care initiatives, monitor group progress, and ensure no one falls through the cracks in your care network.

Enhanced Pastor on Call Scheduling

Improved Pastor on Call functionality now includes smarter next-day assignment logic and better calendar integration. This means more reliable coverage scheduling and clearer visibility into who's available for urgent care situations throughout the week.


Behind-the-Scenes Improvements

We've made numerous refinements to ensure CareNote runs smoothly:

  • Enhanced data processing for care request creation and assignment workflows
  • Improved template logic for more accurate daily task scheduling
  • Updated volunteer management processes to better reflect actual team roles
  • Streamlined resource handling for faster page loading and better user experience
