How to View or Edit Your Church Directory in Grid Mode
The View/Edit in Grid feature in SteepleMate is a powerful tool designed to help church administrators efficiently manage and organize member data. With this feature, admins can easily customize which member details are visible in the directory, such as contact information, important dates, or membership status. The ability to bulk edit information directly in the grid and export the data to Excel, CSV, or DOCX formats streamlines tasks like updating records, generating reports, or preparing directories. This functionality enhances data accuracy and simplifies day-to-day administrative tasks, saving time and effort.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to view or edit your church directory in Grid Mode, and export the data to Excel, CSV, or DOCX formats.
