Authenticated Home Page¶

We wanted to make Spark Online a place where, regardless of your role in Spark, you are provided with the information you need in the most efficient way possible. For this reason, the information you see when you sign in is specific to your role.

Church Events¶

This module only appears for users with the Director role.

Use the small calendar to view events for past or upcoming months.
Click on any event in the list to navigate to the Event Planning page.

My Assignments¶

The “My Assignments Module” only appears for users with the Leader site access role.

When a Leader is assigned to an event or a group a Leader belongs to is assigned to participate in an event, the event will appear in the Leader’s “My Assignments” module on his/her home page.
Use the small calendar to view events for past or upcoming months.
Click on any event in the list to navigate to the Event Overview page.

My Family’s Events¶

All Spark Online Users (Directors, Leaders and Parents) have this module on their home pages.

“My Family’s Events” contains events in which the user and his/her family members are participating.
Use the small calendar to view events for past or upcoming months.
Click on any event in the list to navigate to the Event Overview page.

Church Announcements¶

Church Announcements is an area of the homepage where Directors can post information for all of their Spark Online participants. Announcements do not get sent to users’ email addresses, but they do show up on Director, Leader and Parent home pages.

The most recent announcement will always appear at the top of the list.

Alerts¶

Alerts are important “To Do's” that pertain to people management and appear automatically on the Director home page.

When a person requests access to your church’s Spark Online account, when people have registered for open events, or when a Leader has declined an event assignment, an orange “People Waiting” alert will appear at the top of the Director’s home page.
To take action on an alert, click on the link under the “People Waiting” header.
For more information, see the Group Management page.

Register for Open Events¶

When a Director creates an event, s/he can open the event for registration. When this is done, the event appears on the home page under “Register for Open Events," and users on the account can sign up.

To register yourself or a family member for an open event, click on the name of the event.
You will be redirected to the Event Overview page where you can select which family members to register.

Spark Announcements¶

Spark Announcements are notices from Augsburg Fortress to the entire Spark Online community. These might include site updates, new content, or other time-sensitive information.
