Sunday - A Quick Guide

This is a simple introduction to some of the features of Sunday. Some things will probably look slightly different (hopefully better) as time passes and new versions are released.

What you'll need

These are the main bits and pieces you'll need to run Sunday. All you need to try out Sunday for yourself is a computer... and you've already got one of those!

1. A computer

Any reasonably recent computer will do. Practically, a laptop is much easier to use than a standard desk-top computer. A mini-notebook (such as the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 shown here) is ideal, as long as the screen resolution is at least 1024 wide.

2. A label printer

This isn't strictly necessary, but is the easiest way to print barcodes and stick them to things. At St Columba we use the Dymo LabelWriter 400 (the cheapest I've found is at OfficeMax). I'm working on ways to support other types of printers in the future.

3. A barcode scanner

Almost any scanner will do. Ours is from DSE (you probably also need a USB cable for new computers).

Live mode

Sunday has two modes: live mode and admin mode. In live mode, only search and sign in functions are available - so you can let anyone operate the barcode scanner, without them being able to access other areas.

Click here to enter admin mode. You'll need a password.
Search box - type someone's name here to find them.
Sign in box - scan barcodes here.
This list grows as more people sign in.

Admin mode

Admin mode has full access to all the functionality of Sunday.

Click here to return to live mode.
These lists are now clickable.
Clicking someone's name will show their info.
Tools.

Lookup page

This page allows you to see all the information we know about somebody. You can change what group they're in, print a new barcode label for them, and see when they last attended.

Print Nametags

NEW! Now you can print an A4 sheet of nametags with names and barcodes on them, ready to chop up and laminate.

Sunday will store a list of nametags you want to print, and you can print them out when you're ready.

Choose which nametags to print.
