Managing Suspended Benefices

Press F5 to maximise the presentation

This tutorial goes through managing information about suspended benefices in the People Database.

Please note that parochial reorganisations, creating and removing benefices is all covered in the other training presentations and is not dealt with here.

The benefice data can be accessed in the following way.

Click ‘Parishes’

Then click ‘Area Management’

Navigate to the required benefice by clicking on the appropriate deanery.

Click once on the required benefice to highlight it.

Click ‘Open Selected Benefice’

Click on the ‘Benefice Details’ tab.

‘Suspended Since’ is the date the Benefice first became suspended.

The start and finish dates are those of the current suspension.

Number of Terms should initially be 1 and this number should increment each time the suspension is renewed.

‘In Reorganisation’, ‘Currently Being Renewed’ and ‘Comment’ can be used to store information.

Suspension Reports are based on a suspension being current/future according to the start and finish date or the ‘In Reorganisation’ box is ticked.

‘Suspended Since’ and ‘Number of Terms’ are auto completed after the ‘Suspension Start’ date is added.

To output a report on Current Suspensions close the form and return to the main menu.

Click on ‘Standard’ to open the reports section.

Open the ‘Other’ list

Click ‘Suspended Benefices’
