New and Improved Dashboard in CareNote
Welcome to this CareNote walkthrough! In this article, we’ll introduce the new and improved Dashboard in CareNote v4—a simplified, streamlined experience for pastoral care teams of every size.
The redesigned dashboard was built from the ground up to help pastors and church care teams organize, track, and engage with care more effectively, whether you’re using a desktop, tablet, or mobile device.
Quick Access to What Matters Most
As soon as you log in, the new dashboard puts your most important care activity front and center with three quick-access cards:
- Tasks: See outstanding assignments at a glance
- Birthdays: Know who needs a special touch today
- Milestones: Keep up with key life events in your congregation
These cards provide immediate visibility into what matters most—and they look great across all devices, including tablets and mobile phones.
Enhanced Activity Feed
We’ve added vibrant color-coded labels to the activity feed, making it easier to scan and identify the types of care activities being logged:
You can now view 10 records at a time, search through past activity, sort by category, and filter by date—all from a single dashboard view.
Optimized Layout for Mobile and Tablets
One of the biggest challenges for church care team members using tablets (like an iPad) was screen real estate. CareNote v4 solves this with:
- A collapsible sidebar navigation
- Icon-based menu for compact views
- Responsive layout for portrait and landscape modes
Now, whether you’re in the church office or visiting a congregant, your dashboard adapts to your device, letting you stay focused on care—not navigation.
Built for Real Ministry
The new dashboard wasn’t just built for beauty—it was built for real church ministry. Many of our features were inspired by conversations with pastors who asked:
“How can I spend less time organizing and more time caring?”
This update makes CareNote a more efficient pastoral care system for churches ready to move beyond spreadsheets and generic care tracking tools. From managing volunteers to capturing milestones and assigning care tasks, the dashboard makes sure you always know what’s next.
CareNote is the leading pastoral care app for churches—designed for leaders, pastors, and volunteers to care for congregants with confidence and clarity.
