In this presentation you will learn ways to utilize the ParishSOFT Parish Intelligent Query (IQ) tool to mine your data to expand your ministry. We will share tips and tricks to minimize the time you spend manually compiling data. Come explore real life query examples with us in the areas of Family Directory and Religious Education. In addition to learning how to query more complex data, we explore ways to leverage that data outside the system to better understand and reach your parishioners. We discuss some Excel functions that can be useful as you work to leverage the data you are capturing. For example, how do you add a leading zero or splitting out a field such as First and Last Name. You will also learn how to create some basic pivot tables that can help you combine one or more lists to get the data you need to target specific demographics in your parish for outreach and programming.
