5.6    Church Status Processing
       ========================

       Here you maintain the member status information for your Church.  CMS is
       preconfigured for three standard status categories.  You may delete
       these and substitute your own, or you may add to the existing list.

       To begin with "Church Status Processing" from the "Groups" menu:

       Select "Church Status Process.", and then press <Enter>.

       The "Church Status Table" will appear.  The first time you select this
       feature the screen may look like this:

       ======================================================================
       |                       Church Status Table
       ======================================================================
       | Code | Church Member | Description         |
       ==============================================
       | NM   | Y             | Non-Resident Member |
       | PR   | N             | Prospect            |
       | RM   | Y             | Resident Member     |
       |      |               |                     |
       |      |               |                     |
       |      |               |                     |
       |      |               |                     |
       ==============================================

       As you see, three status categories have already been filled in.

       Let us take a look at the options available from the "Options" menu at
       the bottom of the screen.

       Note: The <F> and <R> options are not available from the "Options" menu
       on the "Church Status Table" screen.

       Press the <?> key now and you will see a Help window appear.  It

          appears and fill in the required information.

          - Church Status Code:  Fill in an abbreviation for the new status (up
            to 2 characters long). Duplicate abbreviations cannot be used.

            Press <Enter> or <Tab> to move to the next blank.

            this status category.

            or

            press <N> if Church membership is not part of this status.

          - Description:  Here you type in the name for the new Church status
            (up to 17 characters long).

       C. Press <PgDn> when you filled in the last blank.  All the information
          is saved and the newly added Church status will show on the "Church
          Status Table" screen in alphabetical order.

          To add more Church status categories now repeat steps A through C.
