ParishSOFT Administration, like all applications in the ParishSOFT Family Suite, is available on the Web 24/7. This article outlines the hardware and software components required to operate the program.
Hardware Requirements
No special hardware is needed. ParishSOFT Administration runs on any MAC or PC device using the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
Web Browsers Supported
For security reasons and for the best user experience, we recommend that you use the latest versions of the following browsers:
- Microsoft® Internet Explorer
As of the 4.37 release of ParishSOFT Family Suite, we ended support of the Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) browser. If you continue to use IE8 after the 4.37 release, new and existing ParishSOFT Family Suite features and functionality may not work. In addition, we are no longer investigating or fixing problems and application performance issues determined to occur in IE8 only.
- Microsoft Edge
- Firefox and Firefox Quantum
- Chrome
- Safari
If you do not have one of these browsers installed on your system, you must install or upgrade to one of them before you can log in.
ParishSOFT Administration also works with Smartphone browsers so that pastors, staff, and church members with proper login privileges can access records in the system from any location (for example, hospitals, private homes, and shelters) from their mobile devices.
Allowing Pop-Up Windows
Pop-up windows (or menus) are special types of windows that sometimes display when you click a button or select an option with the mouse. They give you quick access to the application’s functions.
By default, some browsers block pop-up windows. All browsers, however, contain an option that enables you to control whether or not pop-up windows can display. If you receive a message informing you that pop-up windows are blocked, you must change the browser’s pop-up window setting to allow them.
Pop-up windows, also known as pop-ups, vary in size and typically display in a small area of the screen. To use ParishSOFT Administration, you must allow pop-up windows and menus to display. If they cannot display, you may have trouble viewing pages or using certain features in the application. Refer to the instructions that fit your particular browser environment:
