Accessibility Levels
Once you have registered with Our Sunday Visitor, you may view “Member Only”
material. There are three levels of accessibility that the parish may grant employees:
Administrative, Advanced, and Basic.
Every newly registered user receives Basic as the default user level. Your account will
need to be activated in order to access account information.
The Advanced level gives the user access to all parish account information and different
options regarding the Online List Manager. An Advanced level user may have rights to
see or not see the Online List Manager and if the user has rights to the Online List
Manager, he/she may have read-only or read-write access (rights decided by the
Administrator).
Our Sunday Visitor will assign one person at the parish Administrative access. This
person will be able to view all parish account information (orders, invoices, employee
website rights, etc) and have read-write access to the Online List Manager (to edit/modify
parishioner list(s)).
Rights to view the parish’s Invoice History and Order History are granted with an
Administrative or Advanced level accessibility.

NOTE:
Clicking
pops up helpful information regarding that field
Starter Set? – When you have new parishioners and want envelopes in their hands as
quickly as possible, we can send them a starter set. A “Starter Set” is a generic
offering envelope set with the parishioner’s name and address preprinted on them
for each Sunday date. We send these out First Class mail, within 48 hours of our
notification, to insure quick delivery to your new parishioners. These are great to
use until your parishioner receives their regular packet of envelopes.
Orders – If you have more than one order, the parishioner will be added to the order
highlighted. To change this selection, click on the appropriate order number.
Zip Code – When you enter the zip code, the city and state will automatically
populate. This is set up with USPS® standards and is updated on a regular basis by
the post office.
ReActivate Date – Do you have parishioners that are away for a period of time but
plan on returning? Example: Snowbirds that travel south for the winter. You can
now mark their status as inactive, but indicate the date they will be returning. We
will automatically start sending them envelopes with the next mailing after the
reactivation date. Enter the deadline date for the month you want the envelopes to
begin.
