Catalogs are the "lists" Domo uses everywhere: event types, group types, note types and pastoral tags. Setting them up makes Domo speak your church's language.
What you can configure
In Catalogs you'll find four lists:
- Event types — worship service, meeting, rehearsal, etc. (with a color for the calendar).
- Group types — cell group, discipleship, youth group…
- Pastoral note types — general, visit, counseling…
- Pastoral tags — themes to classify notes (grief, finances, etc.).
What you can do with each list
- Add a new item.
- Rename it (you type and it saves on its own).
- Change its color, on the ones that allow it.
- Turn some on or off, to stop using them without losing what's already entered.
- Delete the ones not in use.
Some items are protected and can't be deleted, because the system depends on them (for example, the "discipleship" type, which activates the special behavior of discipleships).
An important detail about notes
In note types you can mark a type as "confidential by default". That makes notes of that type start as restricted automatically. It's why counseling and discipline are usually restricted (see Confidentiality of notes).
For now catalogs can't be reordered from the screen; the order is the default. What you do control is which items exist and what they're called.
Merging duplicate tags
If over time you ended up with two tags for the same thing (for example, "grief" and "Grief"), you don't have to delete one and lose its history: you can merge them.
- In Pastoral tags, click the merge icon next to the tag you want to remove.
- Choose the target tag (the one that stays).
- Confirm. Domo moves every use of the old tag (on notes and tasks) to the new one, and the old one disappears.
This option only shows up once you have more than one tag.
