Check In 3.0 Beta Released

Check In 3.0 Beta Released

Breeze Church Management

Digital giving apps and tools

We're excited to announce a beta version of our new check in system. While the interface remains primarily the same, this update is designed to fix two critical areas:

1. Check in large lists of people on mobile devices

Our current version slows down significantly if large lists of people are loaded into the check in page.  This problem is magnified if the check in device is less powerful, such as a smartphone or tablet (compared to a laptop or desktop).  This update fixes this by putting the burden of filtering on the server rather than on the client's device.  This means an iPhone, Android tablet, or even a Kindle should be capable of checking in people from a list of thousands.  Note that this is in effect only if the check in page is in "Search Mode" rather than "List Mode".

 

2. Printing Labels without NPAPI Support

NPAPI has been used for years to allow browsers to perform advanced features - one of which includes printing a name tag when someone is checked into Breeze.  Google announced that they are discontinuing NPAPI support for reasons you can read about here.  In September Google will be updating Chrome to a version that no longer supports NPAPI.  As a result, we're updating our code to no longer depend on NPAPI support.  This beta release of check in is no longer dependent on NPAPI.

While FireFox, Safari, and Internet Explorer do not need any updates, if you'd like to continue printing from Chrome once Google rolls out this update, you'll need a few things:

  1. DYMO Label Software 8.5.1 or higher (download)
  2. DYMO Web Service (download)
  3. Windows 8 and higher may require this patch (download)
  4. Use this beta version of check in (which will become the main version once it's confirmed it is stable)
  5. A Windows computer (DYMO does not yet have a solution for Chrome on Mac - assuming they release this we plan to update accordingly)

Again, if you're using FireFox, Safari, or Internet Explorer, you do not need to change anything - this only pertains to the Chrome browser.

You can access the new beta version of check in by:

Navigating to the "Events" section and clicking the calendar.  Then click the beta link beneath the normal link to load the new version.  Below is a screenshot showing what you should see:

Check In Beta

We'd love for you to give it a try and if you notice anything that looks off, doesn't work as expected, or if your computer catches on fire, let us know.  Okay... your computer probably won't catch on fire, but at least the other two :).

All of our database needs have been more than met, it's easier to use than the last database we had, and the price is amazing - what a value this has been to our church! All of our staff can use this software and they do regularly. We use it to track…literally anything a church could possibly need to track regarding it's attenders.

Breeze has been a great asset to our church and congregation. Especially from an administrative standpoint, it has been the most adaptable and easiest church database I have ever used. The features from blast emails to giving on-line, and texting have been one of our greatest assets. Thank you!

We switched from a major, web-based ChMS to Breeze and our decision is confirmed every day. We are a medium size church and we use Breeze for contributions, member management, event checkin and a few other applications custom to our church. I had trouble getting any staff to use our previous ChMS but almost all staff are using Breeze. The product is very well designed, extremely easy to learn and use and customer service is incredible.

Breeze has opened the communication highway for our congregation and staff, with very little training. Because members can update their own records and search easily for other members - and map their locations, send emails and text right from Breeze, they love it and our data is more real-time accurate. Our ministries are stronger, because they can trust the data in Breeze, which is easily accessed anywhere, anytime.

Breeze is the first ChMS my volunteers have actually embraced. That's because it's so easy to use. The software is very flexible and gives us the opportunity to make decisions based on actual data we've collected and not just hunches or stories we believe to be true.

I cannot say enough about Breeze. Their customer service is so friendly, you feel like you have friends and family helping you get started, they're prompt to reply and will do whatever they can to help you get things sorted out. It's been so easy to learn, our staff is loving it and best of all even our staff who are not computer savvy find it a breeze (pun intended). We are just thrilled by our choice.

From the start of our process looking for an online solution, Breeze has exceeded all our expectations. Fast data import, fast and friendly customer support, and we can’t say enough about how much we like the program itself. Very well designed and user friendly. On a scale of 1-10, Breeze gets a 15 from us!
