Maintaining and Customizing Jewel

In this section we talk about all the ways to make Jewel the best fit for your particular church. This includes setting Properties, streamlining the Names and Accounts lists, etc.

Properties

In this section, we discuss how to customize Jewel for your church's specific needs by adjusting the properties as needed in Maintenance → Properties.

Edit Names

This list, found by going to Maintenance -> Edit Names, is where you can add the names of donors and vendors, edit the names already added, delete never-used names, combine duplicate names, and de-activate names that are no longer needed.

Edit Accounts

In Maintenance -> Edit Accounts, you can add new bank accounts, local funds or conference funds. You can edit the accounts already entered, delete never-used accounts, and de-activate accounts that are no longer needed. For bank accounts, you can enter or correct the information printed on your checks, and change the statement frequency. For local and conference funds, you can clear AdventistGiving mappings so imported offerings won't get credited to the wrong account, as well as set whether a fund is tax-deductible or is a sub account of another fund.

Edit Budget Allocations

Please see the chapter on Budgets.
