Good to know
- On a phone, the find box isn't shown — use the table's Search… box, or the search at the top of More.
- The search bar at the very top of the screen (Ctrl K, or ⌘K on a Mac) finds people and pages from anywhere in Aligned Church.
- People marked read-only come from a connected app. Find them with the table's Search… box — the find box only looks at people you keep in Aligned.
If it’s not working
It says "No matches." for someone I know is there
Check the spelling, or try just their last name. Archived people aren't included — press View archived people under the table on People to look there.
I typed a question and nothing came up
Search boxes only match names and details. Questions like "who has birthdays this month?" go in the chat box at the bottom of the screen.
