• A major change has been made in how sacrament places are entered. We have integrated with Discover Mass which will allow for a quick search of any parish in the United States to be added as a sacrament place. For your convenience, a video overview of the new feature is at the bottom of this message.
• A phone number mask has been added. This will automatically format a phone number as you type it in. The mask has also been added to the Formation Online Registration form.
• 3 new sections has been added under Administration>Lists
  • Common Cities – This list will create a dropdown to choose from when entering addresses (City name only, do not include State) ex. Chicago.
  • Common Places of Birth – This list will create a dropdown to choose from on the Baptism screen (City and State for this list) ex. Chicago, IL.
  • Non-Member Clergy – This list will create a dropdown for the celebrant field for any sacrament (Intended for clergy that do not belong to the parish or the diocese).
• Camino now remembers the last envelope number assigned by your parish. This means when entering a new envelope number the first option in the dropdown list will be the next available number after the last number assigned. For example, if the last envelope number assigned was 301, the dropdown list would be 302, 1, 2, 3.
• When searching for a household, you can now search for the preferred name of the Co-Head and Head of Household.
• When adding a new member to a household the last name of the household will auto-fill into the member’s last name. This can be changed if need be.
• When adding a new household, Camino will now find partial matches in the first name field if the last name is an exact match.
• Do not forget about the Camino Knowledge Base. The Knowledge Base contains articles that can help answer questions you may have about Camino https://dev.diocesan.com/knowledge-base/
