Came across a word you don't know? Here, in order, are the terms Domo uses and what each one means.
People
- Directory — the list of everyone in your church. It's the foundation of Domo.
- Person — each registered individual: members, visitors, children.
- Pastoral stage — each person's moment in the church. The stages are: First visit, Visitor, In pre-membership, Active member, Inactive member, Professing minor, Non-professing minor, Transferred, Excommunicated and Deceased.
- Household — the home a person belongs to; Domo groups it by last name.
- Professing / non-professing minor — a minor who has made a profession of faith (professing) or hasn't yet (non-professing).
Groups and service
- Discipleship — a space for formation and walking alongside; can be one-on-one or a small group.
- Ministry — a serving team (worship, welcome, children, etc.).
- Leader (group) — the leader of a discipleship group.
- Leader (ministry) — the person responsible for a ministry.
- Co-leader — a supporting leader. A discipleship group can have several; a ministry, only one.
- Target size — a ministry's member goal.
- Without coverage — the people who aren't in any active group or ministry.
Events and attendance
- Event — a calendar activity: worship service, meeting, rehearsal…
- Series — an event that repeats (weekly, biweekly or monthly).
- Scope — who an event belongs to: the church, a group or a ministry.
- Attendance — the record of who attended an event.
- Absence — a person missing an event where attendance was taken.
- Need follow-up — the people who, based on their attendance, are worth contacting.
- Pastoral team only — a reserved event (a counseling session, for example): it doesn't show on the calendar of anyone outside the team, and it doesn't take attendance.
Worship
- Liturgy — a service type's template: which moments it has and in what order.
- Moment — each step of the liturgy (call to worship, sermon, offering…).
- Divider — a section title inside the liturgy (Opening, Ministry); it has no person in charge.
- Person in charge — who's responsible for a moment. It can be someone from the directory or a guest (a hand-typed name).
- Coverage — how many of a service's moments already have someone in charge ("3 / 6 assigned").
- Teaching — the history of topics and passages from the moments marked as teaching of the Word.
Pastoral care
- Note — the record of something experienced with a person (visit, counseling, prayer…).
- Visibility: Team / Restricted — who can see a note: the whole pastoral team, or pastors only.
- Task — something concrete to do with a person, assigned to someone.
- Tag — a word to classify notes (for example, "grief" or "finances").
Settings and account
- Role — defines what a team member can see and do (Pastor, Resident, etc.).
- Permission — a specific action a role may or may not have.
- Sensitive permission — a permission that gives access to delicate information; turning it on asks for confirmation.
- Catalog — the lists you customize (event, group and note types, tags, stage names and songs).
- Additional permissions — loose permissions you give to a specific account, on top of its role's.
- Accent — your church's color, which tints buttons and links across the app.
- Member access — the read-only account the whole congregation can have.
- Plan and limit — your church's plan and the maximum people or users it includes.
