        With
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/intersecting-commitment-contact-sharing">intersecting commitment contact sharing</a>        enabled, <em>We Adore Him</em> shows each adorer the names and contact
        information of the adorers scheduled 1 hour before, during, and 1 hour
        after their commitment, right on their <span>Dashboard</span>        page. When an adorer can't attend their commitment, the simplest
        solution is often to ask the adorers before and after them to cover
        their absence.
    </p>

    <p>
        <strong>Now substitutes have that list too.</strong> When an adorer
        claims a substitute request, the one-time commitment on their Dashboard
        shows a <span>View other adorers</span> link listing the adorers
        actually scheduled around that date, other substitutes included.

    <p>
        The same goes for the prompt that appears when an adorer clicks
        <span>Request Substitute</span>. It lists the adorers who will be there
        on that specific date, each with their time that day.

    Enable this feature with the

        Every <em>We Adore Him</em> roster has adorers who are no longer
        adoring: the snowbird who spends the winter elsewhere, the student who
        graduated, the family that moved away.
    </p>

    <p>
        <strong>Adorer accounts now have an Inactive status.</strong> Mark an
        adorer as Inactive when they have stepped away from
        adoration, whether temporarily or permanently. They are not included
        on the schedule, are not sent
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/substitute-finder">substitute invitations</a>        or
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/sending-a-bulk-message">bulk messages</a>,
        receive no notifications, and don't count toward your
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/billing">billing plan</a>. Their
        account, commitments, and history are all kept.
    </p>

    <p>
        Best of all, their account becomes active again the moment they
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/login">log in</a>, or
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/guest-check-in">check in as a guest</a>        on the
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/kiosk">Adoration Check-In Kiosk</a>,
        or text or call your
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/phone-number"><em>We Adore Him</em> phone number</a>,
        and their commitment reappears on the schedule. 🙌
    </p>

    <p>
        Inactive is the right choice for nearly every account you
        would otherwise block or delete. Mark an adorer as Blocked
        only when they should no longer be able to access your system.
    </p>

    <p>
        If you use the
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/adorer-approval-workflow">adorer approval workflow</a>,
        registrations waiting for your approval now have a status of their
        own: Pending Approval.
    </p>

        Many parishes offer adoration in more than one location. For example,
        adoration may be in the chapel most of the week and in the church on
        Sundays. As parishes merge, it is becoming more common every year.
    </p>

    <p>
        <em>We Adore Him</em> now supports <strong>multiple locations</strong>
        on a single schedule, with one roster of adorers and substitutes. Each
        hour belongs to a location, which adorers see on the schedule and in
        their reminders.
    </p>

        </a>
        <figcaption>
        Each hour on the schedule shows its location
    </figcaption>
</figure>

    

    <p>
        Add each location at <span>Admin » Settings » Schedule</span>,
        with a short name, its address, and (if you like) its own door code.
        Then
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/editing-an-hour">edit an hour</a>        and choose its <span>Location</span>, or assign a whole block of hours
        at once with the
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/editing-multiple-hours">bulk edit</a>        tool.
    </p>

    <p>
        Once you have two or more locations:
    </p>

    <ul>
        <li>
            Every hour on the <span>Schedule</span>,
            <span>Calendar</span>, and <span>Dashboard</span>            pages shows its location.
        </li>
        <li>
            Commitment reminders and substitute invitations include the
            location.
        </li>
        <li>Each location's kiosk shows only its scheduled adorers.</li>
        <li>Paper check-in sheets print separately for each location.</li>
        <li>
            The <span>Help</span> page and the footer of your website
            list every location with a map link.
        </li>
    </ul>

        A picture of the monstrance, a flyer for an adoration event, a letter
        from the pastor: some messages say more with an image or a document.
        Sharing them with adorers is a popular request we hear from coordinators,
        and now you can include them right in your emails.
    </p>

    <p>
        With the <a href="https://weadorehim.com/blog/new-email-layout">new email layout</a>,
        you can now add an image and attach a PDF to
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/sending-a-bulk-message">bulk messages</a>,
        the <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/welcome-email-and-text-message">welcome email</a>        and the <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/guest-check-in">guest welcome email</a>.
    </p>

    <h2>Adding an Image</h2>

    <p>
        Click the image button in the email editor, then choose
        <span>Upload from computer</span> or pick one from
        <span>Or choose an uploaded image</span>.
    </p>

    </figcaption>
</figure>

    

    <h2>Attaching a PDF</h2>

    <p>
        An email can also attach a PDF. In a bulk message, click
        <span>Upload a PDF</span> or <span>Choose an uploaded PDF</span> under
        the email body. The welcome emails also can attach a PDF, and you can
        even attach a separate one for each language your adorers speak.
    </p>

    <p>
        You can also include a link to your PDF in text messages. Click
        <span>Add to text message</span> to include the PDF's link in the
        message.
    </p>

    <h2>Linking to a File</h2>

    <p>
        The link button in the email editors and the
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/customizing-the-sitewide-message">sitewide message</a>        now lists your <span>Uploaded files</span>, so you can link text to an
        image or PDF without copying its address.
    </p>

    <p>
        For example, you might link to a policy document or campus map in the
        sitewide message for adorers to quickly access them.
    </p>

    <p>
        Every image and PDF you upload also appears on the
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/blog/the-new-files-page">Files page</a>.

                <![CDATA[<p>
        A new documentary called
        <a href="https://adorehimfilm.com/">Adore Him: He Is Here</a>        is in theaters this week, October 4 through 8 (watch the trailer
        <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIf7pmno5tI">here</a>).
        A few of you have
        asked whether it's ours. It isn't! We have no connection to the film
        or to the
        <a href="https://adoremovement.com/">Adore Movement</a>        it promotes, but we share the same hope, that more people would come
        to know Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
    </p>

    <p>
        So I went to see it with my wife and children, and I'm glad we did.
    </p>

    <p>
        I found it moving, and a powerful reminder of the beautiful gift that is
        Eucharistic Adoration. I've devoted my full-time work to this ministry
        since 2017, and the film was encouraging and edifying for me personally.
        There were a few moments that made all of our eyes tear up a little.
    </p>

    <p>
        I was also pleased to see an interview with Andrew Niewald of the
        <a href="https://www.adoratiofoundation.com/">Adoratio Foundation</a>.
        I highly recommend their work establishing and growing Eucharistic
        Adoration programs at parishes, and they've long been listed among the
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/resources">resources</a>        we point coordinators to.
    </p>

    <p>
        If you can still catch a showing, go. It comes from the executive
        producer of
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/blog/jesus-thirsts-the-miracle-of-the-eucharist">Jesus Thirsts</a>,
        which we recommended a couple of years ago, and like that film it makes
        a wonderful parish outing. Consider
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/blog/send-bulk-messages-all-adorers">sending a bulk message</a>        to your adorers to let them know about it.

        Administrators and captains can create a
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/generic-substitute-requests">generic substitute request</a>        on behalf of the adoration program, so the
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/substitute-finder">Substitute Finder</a>        can look for someone to cover a time nobody has committed to. And when
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/commitment-start-times-and-durations">additional commitment start times and durations</a>        are enabled, adorers can commit to anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours.
    </p>

    <p>
        Now those two work together. When you request a substitute
        <span>On behalf of the adoration program</span>, you can choose a
        <span>Start time</span> and a <span>Duration</span>. If only half an
        hour needs covering, your substitutes are asked for exactly that half
        hour.
    </p>

    <p>
    These choices appear when the <span>Enable additional commitment start
        times and durations</span> field is turned on at
        <span>Admin » Settings » Commitments</span>.

                <![CDATA[<p>
        On the <span>Admin » Insights » Adorer Ratings</span> tab,
        <em>We Adore Him</em> gives each adorer six
        <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/adorer-ratings">adorer ratings</a>,
        such as how often they keep their commitments, arrive on time, and
        answer substitute invitations. It's a quick way to find the right
        adorer to call in a pinch, or to notice who might welcome a friendly
        check-in.
    </p>

    <p>
        The ratings now cover whichever dates you choose. Pick a
        <span>Date range</span> reaching as far back as a year to see how
        adorers did last month, over the summer, or across the whole year.
    </p>

    <p>
        Check <span>Show counts</span> to see what each score rests on, such as
        of 12 dates or of 4 invitations. When there is
        nothing to score, such as an adorer who received no substitute
        invitations, the rating reads No data instead of 0%.
    </p>

    <p>
        Several ratings are now more precise:
    </p>

    <ul>
        <li>
            <strong>Dutifulness</strong>, how often an adorer keeps their
            commitment rather than requesting a substitute, now counts each date
            once and leaves out
            <a href="https://weadorehim.com/articles/generic-substitute-requests">generic substitute requests</a>.
        </li>
        <li>
            <strong>Reliability</strong>, how often an adorer keeps their
            commitment rather than missing it, now leaves out dates a substitute
            covered.
        </li>
        <li>
            <strong>Perseverance</strong>, how often an adorer stays until their
            visit ends, now forgives leaving up to five minutes early and skips
            visits with no check-out.
        </li>
        <li>
            <strong>Responsiveness</strong>, how often an adorer answers substitute
            invitations, now counts an invitation as unanswered only if the
            substitute request expired without a reply.
        </li>
    </ul>

    <p>
        Blocked adorers are left off the list, and the <span>Export</span> button
        now exports exactly the adorers and dates on your screen.

        The <span>Admin » Visits</span> page lists every adoration visit at your chapel,
        with filters that find just the ones you need, such as unconfirmed visits or adorers who
        checked in late. Now you can also find adorers who leave before their time is up. 🕯️
    </p>

    <p>
        Choose Checked out early from the <span>Show</span> filter, and a
        <span>Minutes early</span> filter appears beside it. Set it to &gt;= 15 minutes to
        see only the adorers who left well before their commitment ended.
    </p>

    <p>
        Once you've found them, click <span>Message Adorers</span> to gently encourage them to
        stay with Our Lord until their time is finished.
