6.9 Funds Table Maintenance Page 6.9.1
=============================================================
Here you set up your Church funds. For practical purposes you
can create an unlimited number of funds limited only by your
Hard Disk size.
To begin with "Fund Table Maintenance":
Select "Funds Table" from the "Stewardship" menu, and press
<Enter>.
The "Funds Table" screen will appear, and the first time you
use CMS it may look like this:
=============================
| Funds Table
=============================
|Code | Description
=============================
|GENERALFND| General Fund
| |
| |
| |
CMS comes with one fund, the "General Fund" predefined. You
don't have to use this fund, but serves as an example.
Let us take a look at the options available from the
"Options" menu at the bottom of the screen.
6.91 Help
====
Notice the <?>-Help option on the left side of your
"Options" menu.
Press the <?> key now and you will see a "Help" window
appear. It explains all the options available to
maintain the funds table. Use the <PgDn> and <PgUp> keys
to see the next or previous "Help" screen.
To exit "Help" press <Esc> and the "Help" window will
disappear again.

Note: The <F> option is not available here. All other
options presented in the options menu, except the
<Enter>-Choices option, will act on all the funds
in the list. The choices presented after
selecting the <Enter> -Choices option will act on
the preselected fund only.
6.92 Add a New Fund
==============
It is easy to set up a new fund in CMS.
To set up a new fund follow these steps:
A. Press <A> at the "Funds Table" screen, and the "Add a
New Fund" screen will appear. Here you enter all the
information about the new fund.
B. Fill in all the blanks. Begin with the first blank
where the cursor appears and fill in the required
information.
- Fund Code: Type in a brief name for the fund (up to 10
characters long) that you can easily
remember and that distinguishes it from
other fund codes. Duplicate fund codes
will not be allowed. Press <Enter> when
done.
- Fund Description: Type the full fund name (up to 20
characters long) or give a longer
description of this fund.
C. Press <PgDn> when done.
You will be returned to the "Funds Table" screen. The

6.95 Delete a Fund
=============
Just as funds can be added to the fund list they also
can be removed. For example, you discovered after you
entered a fund, that you created a duplicate entry. Or a
fund has been withdrawn and you want to update your
records.

To prevent you from inadvertently making a mistake
and remove the wrong fund a window will be displayed:

| Deleting fund <name> will cause contributions |
| and pledges for this fund to not have a description in |
| reports. Proceed to delete? [y/N] |
