New People Portal Deployment Docs Debut

3/20/2023

The Brick River People Portal is a custom hub for user-specific information similar to what a clinic's patients might use to view their own medical records, find their next appointment, or pay their doctor’s bill.

In United Methodist conferences, the People Portal allows participants to access annual report forms and charge conference forms, complete clergy compensation forms, view conference information and announcements, see a photo directory of all clergy, review their leadership assignments, and even update sections of their own people record, such as contact information, education history, and CEU’s.

The start of the school year is the perfect time to rollout a People Portal, but now is the time to plan if you intend to make a fall launch.

Our documentation team has been hard at work developing and testing new guides for designing, setting up, and deploying the People Portal in your conference.
