Cards are the heart of Church Connect, each designed with a specific purpose. This article provides an overview of creating and editing cards, as well as using templates to create branded images for your cards.
Since each card type serves a unique purpose or provides a specific function, we've created additional articles to walk you through each one:
Join one of our upcoming Getting Started Workshops to see the core features of the software and ask your questions live. Livestreams are held weekly.
To create a card, select the "Add a Card" button located towards the top of the "Cards" tab. Then, choose the type of card you want to add.
The type of card you are editing will determine the level of customization that card offers. To begin customizing, choose the card, then select the "Edit Card" button. From there, you can build and customize your card. You can also view a preview of your card as you go.
In "Card Options," you can customize the border radius of your Cards and Buttons to control their square or rounded appearance. You can also adjust the gutter size to manage the spacing between Cards and set a minimum width, in pixels, for each one.
Beyond customizing your card content, you can add your own image or choose from Igniter Media's library to make your cards stand out.
In the slideout menu, select the "Upload or Select a Card Image" button.
From there, you can choose "New Upload" to add your own image, or "Igniter Images" to choose from a library of images.
You can also edit an image once you've uploaded it. Select "Edit Card," and then choose the "Edit Image" option.
The arrows allow you to rotate the image clockwise or flip the card vertically/horizontally. You can also adjust the crop using the aspect ratio feature to fit specific dimensions. Once your changes are made, select "Apply Crop" to save them or "Reset" to revert the changes. When you're finished editing, select "Apply Changes" to return to your card.
You can easily sort cards by selecting the "grid icon" in the lower left corner of each card. Once selected, simply drag and rearrange the cards as needed.
