Admin Panel
The Admin Panel is your stewardship hub — the place where you configure and manage everything your Safety Ministry needs to operate. From defining posts and services to tracking compliance and reviewing operational reports, this is where the Watchman sets the watch.
Admin & Oversight: Both Organization Admins and Oversight leadership can access the Admin Panel. Compliance Tracks, Rotation Engine (Schedule Config), and Patrol Categories are restricted to Organization Admins only.
Accessing the Admin Panel
- Click on Admin in the sidebar navigation.
- The Admin section now contains three items: Training, Feedback Inbox, and Settings.
- Organization configuration (services, programs, posts, checklists, compliance, patrol categories, and more) has moved into the Settings surface, organized into five tabs.
Admin Sections
| Section | Purpose | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Settings | All organization configuration, grouped into five tabs (Organization, Scheduling, Operations, Compliance, Messaging) | Admin & Oversight (some sub-pages Admin only) |
| Training Admin | Define training types and schedule training events | Admin & Oversight |
| Operational Reports | Build weekend and event reports with approval workflows | Admin & Oversight |
| Feedback Inbox | Review and respond to submissions from the flock | Admin & Oversight |
Key Responsibilities
As an Organization Admin or Oversight leader, you are responsible for the following areas of stewardship:
Ministry Configuration (in Settings)
- Posts & Zones — Define where your team serves (Pastoral Protection, Foyer, Parking, Kids Ministry, and more)
- Service Definitions — Set up your recurring weekly services with default staffing needs
- Program Management — Configure special programs and batch-schedule events
- Operational Checklists — Build standard operating procedure templates for consistent execution
Compliance & Training
- Compliance Tracks — Set up layered requirements for different member categories (Armed, LEO, Civilian, Onboarding)
- Training Admin — Define training types, schedule events, and record attendance and results
Scheduling & Operations
- Rotation Engine — Configure squad rotation cycles and automatic event generation
- Operational Reports — Build, submit, and approve weekend and event reports
Serving the Flock
- Feedback Inbox — Review suggestions, reports, and requests from your Safety Team Members
Ministry configuration (Posts & Zones, Service Definitions, Programs, Checklists, Compliance Tracks, Rotation Engine, and Patrol Categories) now lives under Settings. Training Admin, Operational Reports, and Feedback Inbox remain in the Admin menu.
Best Practices
- Document Changes — Keep notes when modifying configuration so your team understands what changed and why.
- Test Before Roll-out — Verify new compliance tracks and schedule configurations work as expected before going live.
- Regular Reviews — Periodically audit compliance status, post configurations, and feedback submissions.
- Least Privilege — Only grant Organization Admin access to those who truly need it. Oversight handles most day-to-day stewardship.
