For board & admins
Guides for the people who run the tools — announcements, volunteering, moderation, notification defaults, guests, and the roster.
-
Post an announcement
For posters: composing an announcement, choosing where it goes, and how it reaches families — push, digest, and (if enabled) text message.
-
Create a volunteer opportunity
For organizers: setting up an opportunity and its shifts, choosing how check-in works, running the day, and making sure the hours land.
-
Manage your school's knowledge base
For KB owners: writing and organizing the articles that answer your families' questions — and why this library is what makes the ask-a-question search good.
-
Moderate a conversation
For moderators: working the review queue — allowing, removing, and purging messages, handling reports, and pausing a member's posting.
-
Assign moderators
For school admins: choosing who reviews flagged messages — by role or by person, for one channel, a channel type, or the whole queue.
-
Invite a guest into a group chat
For school admins: letting someone from outside the school — a parish coordinator, a vendor, a co-planner — into specific group chats and nothing else.
-
Manage families and the roster
For school admins: importing the roster, why it's the backbone of accounts and channels, handling mid-year changes, and withdrawing families cleanly.
-
Set your school's notification defaults
For school admins: what families get unless they choose otherwise — digest cadence and contents, push, and texts — and who your changes actually move.
-
Bring in an outside calendar
For calendar admins: showing a parish, athletics, or diocesan calendar inside Lumicura — by link or file — with its own legend color families can switch off.
-
Track your school's text message usage
For school admins: where to see how many announcement texts your school has sent against its yearly allowance, and what happens past it.
