Overview of the front page to the System!

Welcome. This page is the main primary page into the CGateway system. To start with, looking at the page, it is divided into three sections. The first top part is where the System Logo reside with list of Navigation Menu icons/links and page Search Button. Below that, on top of a white line bar, is the name of the "CGateway" company.

The second section which is the middle part and also the main page body, contain the functional tools of goto links that sits on top of a beautiful background setting of a Dove, a Cross and an Angelic figure that project the likeness of the image of the Son of God.

The functional tools contain five action links that does most of the heavy lifting work in building the necessary information needed of your packages.

The Third section is the advertisement part that show ten block of boxes of advertised products.

First Section of Front Page

This is the System Logo location. This particular location is where all Organizations, Groups and Church Branches Logos will be located.

Navigation Menus!

We have Home, About Us, Services, Contact Us, Policies, Help, Support and Donation. These are the lists of the menu items that comprises the navigation system in the front page. Lastly, there is a Search Text and Button unit system that can be used for quick searching of church branches.

Home - is where every thing begins. Any time you feel you are lost, just go back home and start from there again. You may have noticed the asterisk at the beginning of the word "*Home", it means that when pressed, you will be taken to a new "Page" on the system and not to a "White-Board" like the one you are on right now. The distinction of going to a new page and not to a white-board will be apparent to you in a moment when we talk about the Help menu items.

About Us - is where we talk about the company. How we started and our location. It is also the place where we talk about our purpose as a company.

Services - is where we talk about the services we provide to the Churches and to the Public as a whole. The reasons why we provide these services and in return, what we hope to accomplish.

4. Request to Add Church Organization white-board described in details what the system does relating to certain functions like how "ACON" and "DLM" processes works.

5. *Forgot Your Password actually takes you to a page where you can change your password to a new one on the system. I say that it will take you to a page which means this is NOT a white-board display item. The asterisk at the beginning of the link testify to this effect. Any item links that start with an asterisk denote that you are going to a new page on the system. Example of this is when you press the "*Home" link to go home, it direct you to a home page.

6. *Registration (Staff Only) - This is only used by the staff member to register as the member of the company to provide support to the people on the system. This will also take you to a new page to perform this function.

7. *DLM (Staff Only) - This allows you to login to the system as a staff. Only staff member can use this page to login. This is different from the page that the customer use for login into the system. If you are not a staff member, you will not be allow to login. More details relating to what "DLM" means can be found on the help menu item "Request to Add Church Organization".

8. *Pending ACON Payment - This is another item that will direct you to different page for you to proceed. It will show you the list of pending "ACON" payment items if exist. This list are the payment action that has not finish processing. This is the place you come to finish your "ACON" payment processing.

Support - menu item shows what kind of support we provide to our members, customers and to the public at large.

Donation - This white-board contain the company bank information needed for direct deposit donations. You can also use the Credit Card donation services provided in section 2 below.

Search!

If you press the Search button without typing anything on the "Search Text Bar", list of organizations will appear on a popup window and you can select which organization you want to work with. This action will list all organizations on the system if you do it this way. To specify a particular organization, you need to type into the "Search Text Bar" the church code of the organization you want and then press the search button. This action will select only the requested organization and from that list, you can select the Church Branch you desire to go into.

Wait A Minute!!!

What about this "Check Box" that I am seeing before the system "Logo"?

Hey - Good question. This "Check Box" is actually one of the beauty of the whole navigation menu section. As we will have it, it is called "navcheckbox", for "Navigation Check Box". The function of this check box is amazing. Remember that some of the menu items link start with an asterisk on their names, and we said that it means they are NOT "White-Board" related links, that they will direct you to a new page of their own and the example of this that we used was the "*Home" navigation link.

This "navcheckbox" is only related to the menus that are white-board related. if you checked this "navcheckbox" to select it, If you now clicked on any of the menu items that start with an asterisk, it will do nothing else but to take you to a new page as normal with no different in functionality what so ever. On the other hand, if check box is on and you press on any white-board related menu links, it will open a popup window for you containing the contents of the otherwise white-board contents which you can now move around on your page.

What this mean is that, you may be working on a page feeding some data onto the page for database request or questionnaire and you do not want to loose all the data you have entered but you need to check something out from the white-board related menu item. No problem, just go ahead and click-checked the check box and the menu you want will just display on a popup window without you loosing any data you may have entered on the main page. This is cool. Hope you can see the coolness and very important function of this box.

This function work best when you turn the "navcheckbox" on while you are still on the "*Home" page and before moving on to other pages. That should do it for this section of page.

Second Section of Front Page
