Create or modify a report for updating family info

[OfficeAdminLisa]

Hello all,

I am very new to PowerChurch (we have version 11.55), so please forgive my ignorance. I've been using the help files and have searched the forum, but haven't yet found what I'm looking for...if it exists.

I am the new Office Admin at my church and am looking to update our membership list (which is quite out of date). I'd like to generate a report showing the address/phone/email (grouped by family) info we already have, to give out and ask for updates from our membership. However, the report within PowerChurch has far more info on it than we need...and I'd like to avoid printing out multiple pages for each family.

I am looking for ways to either modify the existing report or create a new one. I've looked at some of the examples of creating other custom reports, and at first I seem to be getting somewhere, but each time it seems I get a different error, or cannot get the reports to be grouped by family.

I'm hoping perhaps someone has encountered this in the past and can offer me some guidance.

Thank you! Lisa

Well the Membership Master Report gives a more compact set of information per family. You'll still get multiple pages, but it won't be the one page per person that the Family Update Form gives you.
