Remove/Replace Mass Example
Let's say the administrator added a Special Sunrise Easter Mass at 6:30 AM that conflicts with the normal Sunday morning 7:00 AM Mass. On Easter Sunday, she cancels the 7:00 AM Mass.
- If the mass is marked inactive, the scheduler does not assign ministers to the 7:00 AM Mass.
- If the mass is active, the scheduler assigns ministers to the 7:00 AM Mass, and ministers are assigned to the permanent mass even if a special mass conflicts.
In this example, do not delete the 7:00 AM mass to prevent it from being scheduled on Easter Sunday with the intention of adding it again the following week.
If you delete a mass, you break the association between the minister preferences and the now non-existent mass, so the preferences in all the ministers' records are deleted. Entering a new mass the following week does not restore the preferences.
