How do I print the invite cards?
Hey Andrew,
Thanks for the additional info! I was able to locate the promotional cards you ordered here: https://answersingenesis.org/store/product/mystery-island-vbs-promotional-cards/.
From the description, it says to use in a word processor program with Avery template 8376.

When customizing registration, the field label does not show above the text box
I am attempting to add custom fields to the registration form. The field label does not show, as it does for non-custom fields. This means that only the Help Text shows up underneath the boxes. There does not appear to be any way for me to display the label, and last year we had confusion as all other fields have labels above. See screen shot below:
Hi Elizabeth,
I'm happy to report that this is now fixed!
Thanks for your patience as this took longer than expected to fix due to COVID.

How do I give others access to the files
Is there an easy way for others to access the files without giving them my username and password?
Good Morning Donna,
Yes, if you have upgraded to Plus you can invite as many people as you need to assist you. In VBS Digital, they are referred to as "Coordinators." A "Coordinator" is different from a "Volunteer." Coordinators are people who have access to VBS Digital to help manage your event. Volunteers are workers at your event, but they do not have access to work within VBS Digital. Someone can be both a coordinator and a volunteer.
To invite a coordinator, simply go to the People page and click the"Coordinator Settings." At the bottom of the page, there is an Add Coordinator section. Enter the person's email, choose their role, and click "Add Coordinator."
They'll receive an invitation email. When they click the link in the email, they'll be instructed to log in or create an account, and then they'll be authorized to manage your event.
The Coordinator page will also allow you to rescind invitations or remove coordinators from the event.
Please reach out to us if you have any further questions or issues!

Unable to download Incredible Race logos in any format
I'm trying to download The Incredible Race logos, but when I click the Download button for any of the files, it takes me to a new page with the graphic, but there is no way to actually download the file to my computer. Am I missing something?
Hi Danielle,
I checked on this issue for you. The .eps files have vector data in them, so your web browser and photo viewer programs shouldn't be able to open or display them. You would need to open them in PhotoShop, InDesign, or a similar program. (See: https://fileinfo.com/extension/eps).
I'm not sure how you were even able to view those files in your browser, perhaps with an extension? At any rate, I have included the files below for your convenience. They downloaded with no issues for me in Chrome, though I can't open or preview them without using a graphics program.

Email to student after Registration complete
In this screen print, it shows text starting with Example thru 2020....
I can edit the bottom half of the email. How do I edit the top half?
Good Afternoon Elaine,
Unfortunately, the top half is automatically generated as part of the email template. As such, that element cannot be customized for individual VBS events.
Please let us know if you have any further questions or issues!

Student birth year not working
When entering student's birth date on registration form, you are allowed to enter their month and day of birth, but the birth year remains at 2020 default even when a different birth year is selected.
Good Afternoon Elaine,
After doing some testing with the student registration form, I found that when you select a birth year and need to change it, you must select the day again in order to update the year. The same thing happens when changing the month.
So, to fix the issue of the year defaulting to 2020, use either of the following sequences when entering their birth date: Month, Year, Day OR Year, Month, Day OR typing it manually by following the yyyy-mm-dd format.
Please let us know if you have any further questions or issues.

I cannot open lesson resources except powerpoint presentation
Hello!
Before I was able to use all of lesson resources but now I can only use powerpoint in lesson resources. I am starting over from Unit 1. Please help me to use all of lessons resources!!!
How can I go back to my old lessons? I am not able to see my lesson 2.
Hello,
Currently, ABC Digital is set up to allow access to 5 lessons at a time: the previous lesson, the current lesson, and 3 future lessons. An update that we will be adding on or before the full release of ABC Digital is to allow the teacher to view previous lessons. For now, if your lesson schedule gets off track, please contact us and we will adjust your lessons for you.
Also, we have retained our old resources page at https://myanswers.com/edu/resources/v1/ that you are welcome to download lesson content from as well.

Invalid Passcode
When I entered my VBS digital passcode it said it was invalid. What do I do from here? Can I call someone for support?
Good Afternoon Megan,
Teachers/Coordinators are invited via email and then they make their own account. Once the director has entered the access code, it applies to the organization and whoever else is linked to it. Since Jennifer Hall created the account for your organization, she will need to invite you via email. Then once you link your account, you should have access.
Blessings,
Ben Sherrick
