Batch Manager Tool - December 2025
A helpful visual enhancement, some bug fixes, and additional reminders.
- *ENHANCEMENT* We added an outline around the interactive fields and buttons. This way, when you use your keyboard to navigate the BMT, you know exactly where you're at!
- You can now sort batch donations by payment type when you create blank items in the batch setup without closing and reopening the batch! The fewer clicks the better, right?
Reminders
- Live Chat in the Platform: SPoCs and Parish Reps can now chat with Support directly in MinistryPlatform! Live chat with Support is available Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. EST/EDT. When chat is not available, you can still contact Support in the usual ways.
- Recent Change to Life Apps: In the last Life Apps release, we changed the names of the Care Life and Group Life applications to Care Connect and Group Connect. Volunteer Connect and Need Connect already followed this pattern. These are now collectively known as Connect Suite. Check out the Life Apps release notes for details.
- Portal access will end December 31. The Portal has served many churches for years. But now that its functionality is available in newer, modern tools like PocketPlatform, Connect Suite, and Widgets, we are disabling access. For details, see End of Portal Access.
- Are you more of a visual learner? Check out our video library for MinistryPlatform! We are constantly adding and updating new videos, and you can submit video topics that you'd like to see next. Check it out and let us know what you think!
