If you’ve ever wanted to link your Lamplight diary to Outlook, Gmail, or another online calendar, we can show you how.
We have a Zoom chat this Wednesday, 20th January, at 10 a.m. We’ll show you how it works, and you’ll get a chance to ask us questions.
If you’d like to join, just drop us a line and we’ll send you the link. See you there!
Fancy brushing up on your Lamplight skills? We’ve added some bitesize training dates for the new year. These sessions will cover reporting, creating groups/lists and data views. You can find more details of what each includes on our website. They last 2 hours, take place via Zoom, and cost £40 + VAT per person.
The first dates for 2021 are:
Thursday 21st January, 1 p.m.: Basic Groups/Lists and Data Views
Monday 25th January 10 a.m.: Reporting
Thursday 28th January 2 p.m.: Advanced Groups/Lists and Data Views
There is a maximum of 4 participants per session, so do book early to avoid disappointment!
We’ve added a new bitesize training session on Friday 11th December, from 10 – 12.
Do you want to make more use of the information in your system, but you’re not sure where to start? You can use groups/lists in Lamplight like saved searches: you enter what you’re searching for (e.g. ‘postcode starts with N1’) and Lamplight searches for everyone that meets the filters that you’ve chosen. You can then add a data view to this if you want to see more information. For example, you may want to be able to view the demographic information or contact details of the people on your group. The data view will show you these extra details in columns next to the names in your list.
If you’d like to learn more about how to set up and use groups/lists and data views in your system, why not join us?
We look at what groups/lists are in more detail, and how you can set up a new one based on information held in your system’s profiles. You can use demographic information, support needs, interests, membership information — whatever personal details you capture in a profile. We then introduce data views to you, and show you how to use them.
The training will be via Zoom. Places cost £40 + VAT and include an individual half hour training follow-up call. You can find more details on our website.
If you’d like a place, please contact us. If you’re interested in coming to this training on another date, please get in touch and we’ll let you know about future sessions.
