Rock U - Rock Fundamentals - Campuses v13

Transcribed Video Content

Many organizations operate out of more than one location. These sites can be called many things, but in Rock, we've chosen to call them campuses. You might think campuses are pretty simple. You just add your campuses to the list, and that's all. But there are lots of ways to extend campuses that we'll cover in this video. To view, edit, or add campuses, we'll go to admin tools. And under general settings, we have campuses. And here we've got a couple campuses listed. We'll go ahead and click on the main campus and edit it to view its properties. So it starts off with the basic name and description. For campuses, you also have a status. In this case, it's open, but it can be closed or pending. And then you also have a type, which can be physical or online. And these are defined values that you can, add to these lists if you have other statuses or types that you want to use. You can have a code for your campus, which is just a shorthand way of referring to the campus. You can designate a campus leader, who's the person sort of responsible for the campus. That's mostly for reference, it's a little bit different from the campus team, which we'll get to in a minute. You can also have a URL and a phone number associated with the campus. Again, these are for reference if you needed to include them on your website or in a communication. Similarly, we have service times down here. You can add service times, and this is helpful, again, because you can pull this onto your external website to show what service times are available at the campus. We also have a location. Every campus must have a location. So if you're adding a new campus, you'll want to add that location first before coming here to actually add the campus. But this is the location where the campus is. Down below here, we have campus schedules. And these, again, are done for reference, but, they can also be used by blocks service metric entries. So there's some functionality behind these. And last but not least, we have campus topics, which are a whole separate topic. But, for each campus, you can have a topic, which is a defined type, of topic type. And we have one set up, kids ministry emails. And we can associate an email address with each topic. So, and you can choose whether or not to make it public, which you can also reference. So that's all. A topic is just a topic type and then an associated email and whether or not that's public. So those are the basic settings for your campus. But you can also add attributes to your campus to track other things about the campus. And so let's see how to do that real quick. Under admin tools, we can go to system settings. And under system settings, we can click on entity attributes. And we're working with campus, so in this case, we do want the entity type to be campus. And that's what it is. And we're gonna go ahead and add an attribute. And you can choose to do a qualifier field and a qualifier value if you only wanted it to apply to a certain campus, but in this case, we want it to apply to all of them. And then so here, we'll we'll call it, we'll call this attribute, I don't know, level. And we'll say it's a single select attribute, and we'll say we'll just give them numbers. Level one, level two, level three. This can be whatever type of attribute you want. But just for our example purposes here, we'll do something basic. And we can save that. And, again, as soon as we do, we can go to back to general settings, campuses. We can pull up our main campus and edit it. And then down here at the bottom, we have our single select for level that we just set up. And we can choose a level and save it. And you can add any number of attributes to the campus that you need, to extend what you're tracking about that campus. While we're here on the campus detail page, we should take a moment to point out the campus team. This is where you can add people that are directly associated with your status. Now, what this really is is a group and a group with roles. And so if we add a row here, what we're gonna do is we're gonna add a person, just we would add a person to a group. So we can pick, say, Ted Decker. And, we have a couple roles predefined, campus pastor and campus administrator. We'll call him the campus administrator, and we'll go ahead and save that. And then there he is down below. And again, this is a group of type campus teams. So if you have roles other than campus pastor or campus administrator, you can you can add those to the group type and build out your campus team from there. Hopefully, you have some ideas for how you can extend campuses aside from just a simple list of which campuses are yours.
