bread

What does bread use?

• A complete customized meeting list editor on the web
• Generates and prints a current meeting list in PDF format
• Eliminates the task of maintaining a separate meeting list in MS Word, Excel, etc.
• Eliminates the need to upload a new meeting list to the website every month
• Makes the transition to a new trusted servant much easier
• The generated meeting list will match your BMLT Satellite or BMLT Tabs website meeting list
• The meeting list is setup one time and does not need to be edited when meetings change
• The meeting list can be backed up or exported then imported into another site
• Has its very own current meeting list link which can be shared across the web
• Can use custom queries to a BMLT root server semantic interface. This can be used by adding everything after ‘?switcher=GetSearchResults’ into the custom query box, for example ‘&services[]=1&services[]=3&services[]=5’ would result in querying service bodies 1, 3 and 5. A good place to build a custom query is by using the semantic interface of your bmlt server.
