How To Use Yearly Events (YE) Tools
Overview of using Yearly Events delivery system!
The functionalities of the "YE" panel is very similar to that of the "SSB" tools panel. If you can use the "SSB" panel successfully, then you can also use the "YE" panel. What we will discuss here is the core products/events that makes up the currently provided yearly events on the system. As the name implies, we will be dealing with events that happen mostly every year in most of the churches around the world. To start with, seven (7) common events were setup that constitute the yearly events options on the system. These seven events are not the only events that happen yearly but they are the common one in most churches, that is why we are starting with these seven events. The following is the list of the events: 1) New Year. 2) Easter celebration. 3) Church Anniversary. 4) Youth Anniversary. 5) Children Anniversary. 6) Church Picnic/Outing. 7) Christmas events. You can only initiate the viewing of the yearly events from the "SSB" panel window and as a result, you can only exit through the "SSB" panel window.
As you come into the "SSB" panel window, you will see the menus reflecting the "Home" and the "Yearly Events" menu options respectfully at the upper part of the window. Clicking the menu item of "Yearly Events" will initiate the event process and its panel will open up. As mentioned above, you can see its similarity to the "SSB" panel. We have two columns pane to work with just like the "SSB" window. The left column contain the "Events", the "Year" selection area, and the "Submit" button while the right side column is the "Option Selection List Panel" area. The events are, NEW YEAR, EASTER, YEARLY PICNIC, CHILDREN ANNIVERSARY, YOUTH ANNIVERSARY, CHURCH ANNIVERSARY, and CHRISMAS. All these are discuss in detail below.
