PDS Church Office 11.2C, releasing for desktop and OnDemand 2-20-25, offers the following enhancements.

New and Improved Features

Approximate Dates for Ministries and Talents

You can now set approximate dates associated with a member's ministries and talents. This is especially useful for items you don't have an exact date for (like historical information) or for items where the exact date is not necessary. Click the down arrow (to the left of the calendar icon) in the date field to select which date format to use, then you can enter the date.
Approximate dates are also available in the Ministries quick posting, Talents quick posting, Ministry Manager, and Change Talents process.

Import Fund Activities from a File

You can import fund activity names and functions to a certain fund. Or, if you don't specify a fund, activities can be added to your first fund in the list. Note that this process only imports activities to the Fund Setup window. It does not post family contributions or pledges. For details and step-by-step instructions, see Import Fund Activities.

Automatically Size Dashboard Data

On the Dashboard, you can now automatically size the graphs to fit your data. Just open the graph, and click Autosize at the bottom. This is useful when you want to see the full picture of the data you're reviewing. For example, the Family Count graph shows the past few months by default. You can autosize to see the full range of data—going back to when you first entered data into the program!

RCIA Wording Changed to OCIA

The USCCB approved a revision of the wording for the "Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults" (RCIA) to "Order of Christian Initiation of Adults" (OCIA), effective March 5, 2025. So, we updated the following reports to use the new abbreviation: Baptism Certificate for OCIA Candidate, OCIA Certificate, OCIA Certificate Blank, and Spanish OCIA Certificate.

We fixed issues that were reported internally to our team, as well as the following issues that affected some of our customers:

In certain scenarios, the appropriate fund was not displaying for the family when moving from a member to the Contributions window. Now, the first fund with the most recent fund period displays.
In the New Year Fund Setup, if you used the Assist Me feature and selected No for "Transfer Billing Addresses", the option was being set to Yes in the process.
When reassigning/copying a member, if you selected to create a new family record and copy the information from the old record, some information was not being copied correctly to the new record.
