Sync with Your ACS Diocese
Your church and diocese can share and synchronize profiles.
How the Information Syncs
When sending records to ACS through DataShare, the following rules apply:
- ACS does not allow two Heads or two Spouses in one family. Since Realm does allow this, the first person imported will become the Head and the second one will become the Spouse.
- A third or lower Primary Position will be imported as an Other record into ACS.
- All Child Position types will import as Child records.
- All Other Position types will import as Other records.
What Information Syncs?
All active records and deleted records that match the statuses selected in your filter settings will sync. Within those records, the following sensitive and personal information may also be included in the records:
| Name Fields | Contact Information | Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Address | Birthday |
| First Name | City/Town | Marital Status |
| Middle Name | State/Province/Region | Gender |
| Last Name | Postal Code | Family Position |
| Preferred Name | Phone/Listed Flag | Status |
| Suffix | Church the person is associated with |
Sync Your Realm Church Data
You can synchronize your church data with your diocese.
- Your diocese must own ACS DataShare.
- Your church must own Realm.
- You must be a Realm administrator in order to share data with your diocese.
- In the Filter Settings window, click in the empty field to select statuses from a drop-down list. To remove a selection, click the X next to the status name. This indicates the kinds of people records you want to sync.
