Membership Documents
====================

Each people record in TouchPoint has a section where you can upload documents related to a person's church membership. This is located on the person's record on the `Profile > Member` tab, either on the right-hand side or the bottom depending on browser width.

.. admonition:: Use Case

    At our church, a person completes a Decision Information Sheet when they make a decision to join our church (or to be baptized without joining). Other churches have a Membership Covenant that a person signs when they request to become a member. Whatever document your church uses can be saved as a PDF and uploaded to the member's record for future reference.

User Roles
----------
You must have `Access` and `Membership` roles or be the system Admin in order to both upload and access these documents. We also recommend that the membership user be given the role `Edit`
in order to update information on the person's Personal tab in addition to updating information on the `Profile > Member` tab.

If you have a user that should be able to **view** the membership document(s), but not edit anything related to membership or upload, edit or delete the actual document(s), you can assign that user the role `MemberDocs`. This is in addition to `Access` and whatever other roles this person has. This role is helpful for ministers that need to be able to view these documents,
but do not need to change any membership information.

.. tip::
    Before you can upload the document, you must **save it as a PDF** on your computer or other location. We recommend including the People ID # in the name of the file to accurately identify the document.

You can use Search Builder to find everyone who has a Membership Document on his record. Use the Condition on the Miscellaneous tab named `Has Membership Documents`.
