Upload information scanned from handwritten cards into your system using batches.

  • You must be a Growth Method administrator or a Scanned Cards Admin or Worker to do this.

You must create a batch to upload congregant information into Growth Method. Use a cards batch to upload a set of handwritten cards, for example new member information cards, into the system.

  2. Click Create a Batch.
  3. Select the template that matches the cards you want to upload.
