Protect My Ministry Background Checks

[mikenerney]

We use Protect My Ministry for online background checks. However, I would like to link the personal profile in PC+ to my account with PMM in order to show in PC+ that a background check was completed and the date of completion. My question: Is the button in PC+ to activate /run a new background check or is there a way to automatically read from our PMM account to see that a check was already done for this individual? I am doubting that it's possible but want to know if anyone is using this feature.

Which version of PCPlus are you using ? Version 11.5 (and I think 11.1) will do this, but you have to have it setup in Powerchurch. To do this, use the instructions as listed below:

The beginning of the Background Checks setup process takes place under the File > Preferences > Background Checks menu option.

Here, you define the frequency of background check required, in years. For example, if you need to have background checks updated every two years, specify Background checks need to be reverified every: 2 years.

The rest of the fields on this screen are specific to those using Protect My Ministry (http://www.protectmyministry.com).

The following fields are use system-wide:

♦ Organization ID. The ID assigned by Protect My Ministry for your organization.
♦ Organization Password. The password for your Protect My Ministry account.

The following fields are user-specific:

♦ User Name. The PowerChurch Plus user name will be shown here.
♦ User E-mail Address. Enter the e-mail address that you would like to associate with this account at Protect My Ministry.
♦ Register button. If you have not yet done so, click the Register button to associate the e-mail address listed above with Protect My Ministry. Each user's e-mail address must be registered with Protect My Ministry before the Add, Delete, or View Background Checks buttons will activate.

It won't automatically link to them. You have to either have requested the original background check for them through PowerChurch, or now just click the button to Add a new background check and fill in the date with the date of the last background check for that person.
