What's in this test
So you know what to expect, and what to tell us about. Everyone in this demo is made up, and nothing leaves your computer.
Works today
- People, households, notes and timelines
- Home, by role and by day of the week
- Follow-ups, including the ones that start by themselves
- Group attendance, group pages and printed rosters
- Children's check-in and check-out, labels, rooms and history
- Events, public sign-up and waitlists
- Filling serving plans
- Giving: batches, gifts, funds, pledges and statements
- Placements, the Care Queue, Leaders and the Migration Desk
- Smart lists, reports, measures and the audit log
- Light and dark, and the keyboard shortcuts
Not in this round
Please don't report these yet
- Real email and texts
- Online giving and online payments
- Phones and tablets: this copy runs only on the Mac it's on
- Windows: a Windows version comes later
- A hosted version: for now Hale runs on one computer
What you'll notice
An amber "Demo mode" banner sits at the top of every page. That's expected, because the demo accounts share a password.
After a few days the demo's dates fall behind, and upcoming events become past ones. Start over to get fresh dates; Get started says how.
Works, with limits
| What | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Messages | Everything looks real, but nothing is delivered. The Outbox shows sent_simulated. |
| Waitlists | People move up, but nobody is told. |
| Payments and gifts | Recorded by hand. Nothing is charged. |
| Serving | You can fill the plans that are there, but can't create teams, positions or plans. |
| Check-in rooms and follow-up steps | You get the ones that come with the demo, and can't add your own. |
| Vetting | Hale keeps the records. It doesn't run checks, and doesn't yet require one before installing a leader. |
| Spreadsheet import | It works, but don't press Download rejected rows. It imports a second time. Assigning from the Unmatched queue doesn't work yet. |
| Rooms and history for staff | Administrators, pastors and staff have to type the address to reach them. |
| Faces | Initials for now. Photos aren't built. |
