Steps to Create a Church Directory:

1. Log into Elvanto as an Admin.
2. Access the Admin Area in Elvanto.
3. Navigate to Reports > Add Custom Report > Standard Report.
4. On the new page, give the report a name and description, such as "Church Directory."
5. Select the option Use Only as a Report.
6. Choose to display the report as Families and select the relevant criteria for the directory, including the people categories you want to include.
7. Customize the columns you want to display in the report by dragging and dropping the fields into the Display Fields column.
