Since the monetary information in ChurchReg is of a sensitive nature, you will want to ensure that these details are only available to designated personnel. When Password protection is turned ON, financial details cannot be viewed and only the top half of the ChurchReg screen is accessible. Password protection is available from the HELP | SETUP | PASSWORD menu selection. You can also press F12 to quickly go to the Password dialog. The Password dialog box appears as shown in Fig.1. Fig. 1 - Password Protection Enter a password up to 10 characters long. Think of a password before you start typing, as you will not be able to see what you type. Be sure to write the password down and save it in a safe place. You will be asked to verify the password you have typed in. If you lose the password you will have to call our Customer Service Hot Line for details on bypassing this feature. If you have entered a password but no longer wish to use this feature, you can disable password protection by selecting HELP | SETUP | PASSWORD | ENABLE PASSWORD PROTECTION in the menu. The Password window will pop up. Type in your password to DISABLE the feature. With Password Protection turned on, the FUNDS menu selection will be unavailable unless you enter your password and you will not be able to see or type anything in the lower part of the screen (contribution area). If Password Protection is not necessary, do not use this feature. ChurchReg starts with Password Protection DISABLED and all financial entries are accessible by the user. It is up to you to decide whether to engage this feature or not. QUICKLY HIDING FINANCIAL INFO To temporarily hide financial data in all grid cells at the bottom of the main ChurchReg screen without using a password, press CTRL+F2 . Each time you press CTRL+F2 the cell data will be hidden or shown. This feature is used to temporarily prevent individuals near your computer from viewing Member contributions or when you leave your computer unattended. While the data is hidden you will not be able to open the FUNDS dialog to view financial information or search for any data in the bottom area of the screen.
