## What is CDRoster?

CDRoster brings your ecclesia's duty roster to your iPhone and iPad. See your upcoming duties at a glance, request a swap when you can't serve, or volunteer to fill an open role.

Browse the full schedule in a month calendar, look up members in the directory, and keep up with ecclesial news, announcements and surveys. Add a home-screen widget for your next duty, or subscribe to your duties from your own calendar app.

FOR EVERY MEMBER
• Your upcoming duties, with swap requests and open roles you can volunteer for
• A colour-coded month calendar of meetings, marked on the days you're rostered
• Announcements with photos, attachments and in-app surveys
• The ecclesia directory and shared documents
• Your profile: availability, role preferences, household, qualifications, Sunday School classes and notification settings

FOR COORDINATORS AND ADMINISTRATORS
• Run and publish rosters, assign or reassign duties, and open slots to volunteers
• Compose announcements with photos, attachments and member surveys
• Sunday School years, classes, teachers, enrolments and attendance
• Congregational attendance and child-safety (WWCC) credentials
• Member administration, ecclesia settings and spreadsheet exports
These tools appear only for members who hold the role — a member sees none of them.

DESIGNED FOR IPAD
On iPad, Calendar, Members and Manage use a two-column layout, so the list and the detail sit side by side. Home becomes a dashboard, forms and articles keep a comfortable reading width, and an extra-large home-screen widget shows your next duty plus what's coming up. Hardware keyboard shortcuts, all four orientations, Split View and Slide Over are supported.

CDRoster works with your ecclesia's existing CDRoster account — you'll need an invitation or login from your ecclesia to sign in. There is no public sign-up and nothing to buy in the app.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-09-26

Version 1.3.1

More ways to build, share and review duty forms.

For everyone:
• "Add another…" sections: a form can now repeat a set of questions. Add each child, helper or item in one submission.
• Forms for a group you're part of: as well as forms attached to a duty, you may be asked to complete a form because you hold a qualification or you're a Sunday School parent. Find these under Profile → My forms → "Other forms".
• One per household: some forms (like a Sunday School registration) are completed once for your whole household. Any adult can fill it in, and it's saved for the family.
• Helpful links in a form: a section can show a note with a website link, or link to a shared document you can open right in the app.

For coordinators and administrators:
• Assign a form to an audience, everyone holding a qualification (or Sunday School parents), from the new "Audience" section in the form editor, not just to a duty.
• "One per household" collect mode for family forms, and you can change how a form is collected even after responses exist (existing responses are kept as-is for review).
• Edit a form's questions after responses have come in: the form keeps a version history, so past responses stay tied to the questions they answered.
• Response Summary: a per-question breakdown of the answers. Choice tallies, yes/no counts and how many answered, broken down by form version.
• Link a shared document to a form section, and add body text with tappable links.
• Save any single response as a PDF, and turn on a public link so non-members (e.g. parents) can submit a form once without signing in.
• Bulk willingness: export every member's role preferences to a spreadsheet, edit it, and (on iPad) re-import to set who's willing for which role and how often. Ideal for onboarding.

Plus refinements and fixes throughout.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-14

=== WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION ===
Version 1.3.0

Duty forms: the checklists and agendas your ecclesia attaches to a duty are now in the app, end to end.

For everyone:
• Complete a duty form right in the app. Tick a hall-cleaning checklist, fill in a memorial-meeting agenda, and save your progress or submit when you're done.
• Person questions: where a form asks who's doing a part, pick a member from the directory or type a visitor's name.
• Roster pre-fill: a form can fill itself in from the roster.  The brother rostered to a role, or the meeting date, appears already entered, and you can change it.
• Save any form as a PDF to view, print or share.
• A submitted form stays on your Home screen through the day of the meeting, then moves to Profile → My forms,  where "Show older forms" reaches earlier ones.
• A shared agenda is filled once per meeting: everyone assigned edits the same copy.

For coordinators and administrators:
• Build a duty form: a checklist (one per person) or a shared agenda (one per meeting); with headings, text, dates, choices, checkboxes and person questions, and set a question to pre-fill from a role.
• Attach a form to a role, a recurring event or a single occasion so the rostered members are asked to complete it.
• Review responses, export them to a spreadsheet, see a completion report of who's still outstanding, and delete a response if it was filed by mistake.
• Preview a form as a member before you publish it, and export or import a form's questions as a file.

Plus refinements and fixes throughout, including reliable saving when you edit a form's questions and tappable links in the announcements feed.

### 1.2.4 — 2026-09-05

Version 1.2.4

For everyone:
• Sign in with Google, now offered alongside Sign in with Apple and your CDRoster email and password.
• A cleaner sign-in screen: the email, Face ID, Apple and Google options now share one consistent style.

Plus small refinements and fixes throughout.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-09-04

Version 1.2.3

For everyone:
• Turn on two-factor authentication with an authenticator app, and keep recovery codes in case you lose your device
• Change your sign-in password without leaving the app
• See a clear name for each of your signed-in devices, get an alert when your account is signed in on a new one, and a "Lost or stolen device?" button that signs out every other device and removes saved sign-ins in one step
• Send yourself a test notification to check push is working on your device
• Keep several named calendar subscription links - one per device - and revoke any of them independently
• Connect or disconnect your Apple sign-in from Connections
• Longer forms (Sunday School attendance, announcements, surveys, your contact details) now keep what you've typed if you switch apps or hit a brief network glitch, so nothing is lost

For coordinators and administrators:
• Pause a recurring event during school holidays and other date ranges, and set up those reusable date-range calendars right in the app
• Apply a recurring event's current shape to occurrences you've already generated, and fill a newly-added weekly duty, such as a doorman, from whoever already holds it that week, so it shows on every meeting rather than just the first
• Every rostered duty now appears on a meeting's detail, including weekly duties carried across the week from another roster
• A child-safety compliance view that surfaces Sunday School teachers with no valid WWCC, the people who need attention now show first
• Import working-with-children checks in bulk from a spreadsheet on iPad. Map the columns, preview every row, and import the good ones instead of typing them in profile by profile
• Grant or remove a qualification for many members at once
• Keep a directory of external contacts: visiting speakers and the like
• Choose which activities record congregational attendance
• A roster coverage report: filled vs unfilled slots and per-role gaps for any date range
• More rostering control: archive or delete finished roster runs, auto-fix or discard a draft, and compare two drafts to see what changed
• Clean up occurrences left behind when a curriculum is replaced
• Assign coordinators to a scheduling group, manage note tags, watch open cover requests, and review the ecclesia audit log
• Edit your ecclesia's identity: name, colour, logo, timezone and contact email

Plus refinements and fixes throughout.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-21

For coordinators and administrators:
• A curriculum planner: set the studies, speakers and notes for every study series in one place, with the date each study lands on shown beside it. Two columns on iPad, a simple list on iPhone
• Guest speakers from outside the ecclesia can now be set on a study, not just members
• A recurring event that generates automatically can be converted to a curriculum series without losing its occurrences, their rostering, or recorded attendance
• An Initial setup checklist for a new ecclesia: every configuration task in one place, ticked off from your real data, with anything that doesn't apply marked as such. Shared with the web, so it reads the same on either device
• Import your members from a spreadsheet on iPad, with a column-mapping step and a full preview of every row before anything is created

For everyone:
• Set your profile photo straight from the camera — take a new one and frame it, no need to have a photo saved first. Your photo now appears in the header, too

Plus refinements and fixes throughout.
