Add controls for Bulletin Generation

james.da.morton

We use proclaim for 5 or more service events on a Sunday Morning. Managing the proclaim digital bulletins is becoming VERY TIME CONSUMING because (1) each proclaim service generates a bulletin (we only need one file to do this) and (2) each event contains a BUNCH of slides (added for flow) that don't need to be listed in the bulletin. Each week, I have to delete them over and over again.

I REQUEST:
(1) Allow a service event setting that TURNS OFF the bulletin all together

(2) Add a "right-click option" for each slide that allows users to "include in bulletin" or "exclude from bulletin"

The digital bulletin is so tedious, that we don't fully utilize it since our media and tech team is 100% volunteer

Also could you have the time posted be adjustable. I adjust it each week/each time changes are made but it immediately defaults back to the default time, not the one I would prefer. It does not even match up to the service time.

I totally agree

I will join in requesting this feature too.

I agree that the digital bulletin is a little tedious, I always go back and delete them once the service is over.

Our office manager has been converting our entire hymnal into songs for Proclaim.  They've created multiple "services" for each block of 50 hymns, it would be *very* useful for us not to auto-publish a "bulletin" of these non-services every week and clutter up our front page.

Fully Agree. Too cumbersome to edit out all slides that have nothing to do with a bullentin (Songs, Place holders, videos, service item slides such as childrens church, prayer,offering,etc.).  Have a Cue for "Start Electornic Bullentin" and "Stop Electronic Bullentin" Would make a lot more sense. Also having it turned off in the Proclaim settings and at the individual presentation level would significantly reduce you need to store stuff on your servers.

Yes! This would save so much time! It could just be a check box at the bottom of each slide. Another option that would be really helpful is to click to delete groups instead of having to delete each slide individually.

It's so sad that the bulletin feature seems to be relegated to the background and hasn't seen any significant updates since we started using Proclaim 5 years ago. I have so many suggestions for this feature that would make it so useful for congregations and easier and quicker for us to publish as well.
