A customer may have combined multiple churches into one. Since each one had its own Perf. Here church, they may want to set the new Perf. Here church. Here's how to do that.

  1. Make a backup of the data.
  2. Go into Test Mode.
  3. On the File menu in your PDS program, click Sacrament Setup > Sacrament Place Names and Addresses.
  4. Locate the record of the "old" Perf. Here church. This is one that was combined into the new church.
    It will display a note at the bottom, like this:

    Sacrament Places tab showing the message and button that only display in Test Mode

  5. Click Not Perf. Here.
    This changes the church so it is no longer the 0 record number (the Perf. Here church). Don't worry, all member sacrament records will still use the "old" church name.
  6. Locate the record of the "new" Perf. Here church. This is the one you want to show on records.
  7. Click Perf. Here.
    This sets the new value. It updates all member sacrament records that were using this sacrament place to the new value of 0.
