Need Campaign Setup
Use Need Connect to identify users with needs and users who can provide assistance. The application lists various church-defined Need Types that are part of a Need Campaign. See the Quick Start for how they work together.
Need Campaigns
Need Campaigns appear in the Need Connect application whenever they meet the following criteria:
- Is_Default is set to Yes.
Note: We strongly recommend only having one default Campaign at a time. If multiple are set as default, only the first Campaign (by ID) displays as Need Connect title and description, but Need Types from all default Campaigns display as available options.
Need Campaign Fields
- Campaign_Title
- The friendly name that describes this Campaign in Need Connect.
