Start with the Settings page to configure your church name, branding, and team permissions. This ensures everything else you set up will display correctly.

Finding Anything Quickly with the Command Palette

Instead of clicking through menus, you can jump straight to a person, group, plan, fund, or any admin page from anywhere in B1 Admin:

1. Press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on a Mac), or press / while you are not typing in a text field, to open the search bar. You can also click the Search or jump... button in the top navigation.
2. Start typing a name or the page you want (for example, a person's name, "batches", or "songs").
3. Results are grouped by type -- people, groups, plans, funds, and pages to jump to. Use the arrow keys to move between results and Enter to select one, or click a result with your mouse.
4. Press Esc to close the search bar without selecting anything.

The command palette is often the fastest way to reach a page buried in a sub-menu -- type part of the page name instead of navigating through Settings, Serving, or Donations by hand.
