Complete Guide & FAQ
This guide explains every button, every page, and every feature so simply that even an 8-year-old can understand it. Let's walk through it together!
Imagine a digital notebook for your feast community's money. Instead of paper and spreadsheets, everything is on a website — who gave money, where money was spent, and how much is left. Everyone who needs to see the numbers can see them, and only the right people can add new entries.
It's like a magical piggy bank that remembers everything. Every time someone gives an offering, it writes it down. Every time the feast buys something (like food or venue rental), it writes that down too. Then it shows you a colorful chart of where all the money went. No more guessing!
Here's exactly what happens when you first visit the website. It's as easy as signing in with Google!
Go to feast-provincial-financial-manageme.vercel.app. You'll see a beautiful landing page with a big "Get Started" button. Click it!
Click the "Sign In with Google" button. Use your Google account (Gmail). That's your key to get in — no need to create a new password!
After signing in for the first time, you'll see an "Apply for Access" form. Here's what to do:
🏛 Provincial Team — Select this if you're a Provincial Builder, Admin, or Finance Officer. Province-wide access.
🗺 Area Builder — Select this, then choose your Area (North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas, or Mindanao).
🌐 District Builder — Select this, then choose your Area and District from the dropdowns.
⛪ Feast Builder — Select this, then choose your Area and District. You'll be assigned to a specific feast.
💰 Got an Invite Link? — If a Builder sent you a link, just click it! You'll be assigned as Finance Officer for their feast, district, area, or provincial level.
After submitting your application, you'll see a "Pending Approval" screen. A System Admin or Provincial Admin will review and approve your request. This ensures only authorized people get access.
Once approved, you land on the Dashboard — your home base. Depending on your role, you'll see finances for your feast, district, area, or the entire province. Each level has its own financial account, Tithes of Tithes tracking, and reporting tools.
The app has a sidebar menu on the left. Here's what every single button does, where it takes you, and who can see it. Think of each page as a different room in a house!
Your home screen. Like the cover page of a report card! Shows you the big numbers: how much money came in, how much went out, and what's left. Also shows your most recent transactions and quick buttons to record new ones.
What you'll see: Total Cash In (green), Total Cash Out (red), Net Balance, Active Feasts count, Recent Transactions list, Quick Action buttons, and your feast cards at the bottom with mini summaries. Top-right has a date filter (Today, This Month, etc.) and a "+ New Entry" button for finance officers.
👁 Visible to EveryoneA page that shows your feast community (or communities if you manage more than one). Think of it like a refrigerator magnet board where each magnet is one feast with its name, schedule, location, and money summary.
What you'll see: Each feast is shown as a card with its name, day & time, location, total cash in (green) and total cash out (red). Click "View Transactions" to jump to that feast's transaction history. Click the edit icon (pencil) to update feast details (name, schedule, location).
👁 Visible to EveryoneThe big record book! Every single peso that comes in or goes out is listed here. You can filter by feast, type (in/out), date, or category. Click the eye icon (👁) to see the full details of any transaction.
What you'll see: Filter bar at top (Feast, Type, Date Range, Category). Summary cards with
Total Cash In, Total Cash Out, and Net Balance. A table showing every transaction — date, feast, type badge
(green for In, red for Out), category, description, receipt link, and amount.
For Builders: An "Edit Requests" tab appears where Finance Officers' edit requests show up. The Feast Builder or Feast Admin of that feast is the one who approves or rejects, and so is the Area Admin for any feast in their area; District Builders, Area Builders and Provincial builders see the same list for oversight only.
For Finance: Click the eye icon on any transaction → see full details → click "Request Edit" to ask the Builder to change something.
Like a class attendance list, but for people who give tithes. It shows each person's name, how many times they've given, and the total amount. It's a beautiful way to track and appreciate your community's generosity.
What you'll see: A list of all tithers with their name, phone, email, number of tithes, total amount, first and last tithe dates. Click on a tither to see their full history. Finance Officers can add new tithers.
👁 Visible to EveryoneThe page where you record money that your feast receives. Tithes, offerings, donations, love gifts, sponsorships — all of that goes here! You pick the feast, enter the amount, choose a category, and optionally upload a photo of the receipt.
What you'll see: A form with: Feast/Entity dropdown, Amount, Category (Tithe, Offering, Donation, Tithes Received, etc.),
Date, Tither dropdown (optional — links this cash in to a specific tither), Description, Receipt upload.
Finance Officers can also add custom categories using the "+ Add Category" button.
Below the form is today's cash-in summary.
Scope-aware: This page works at every hierarchy level. Feast Finance records for their feast.
District Finance records for their district. Area Finance for their area. Provincial Finance for the province.
The page where you record money that your feast spends. Venue rental, food, supplies, transportation, equipment — all expenses go here! Same idea as Cash In, but for spending.
What you'll see: A form with: Feast/Entity dropdown, Amount, Category (Venue, Utilities, Supplies, Food, Transport,
Equipment, Honorarium, Tithes Remittance, Printing, Communication, Other), Payee, Date, Description, Receipt upload.
Finance Officers can add custom categories for expenses not in the standard list.
Below the form is today's cash-out summary.
Scope-aware: Works at every hierarchy level — feast, district, area, and provincial.
Like a school report card, but for money! Pick a date range, pick a feast, and the app creates a beautiful report showing total income, total expenses, and the summary by category. You can even compare two time periods to see if you're doing better or worse!
Report types: Summary Report (overview), Detailed Report (every transaction listed), Comparison Report (compare two periods side by side), Attendance Report, and Tither Report. All can be downloaded to PDF.
👁 Visible to EveryoneTrack how many people come to each feast session. Create a session, enter the date and count. Over time you'll see a chart showing if attendance is growing!
What you'll see: A list of feast sessions with date, attendance count, and notes. A chart that plots attendance over time so you can spot trends.
💰 Finance Officers OnlyPlan ahead! Set a spending limit for each category (like "we'll spend max ₱5,000 on venue this month"). The app then tracks how much you've actually spent and shows if you're within budget or going over.
What you'll see: Budget categories with planned vs. actual amounts. Green = within budget. Red = over budget. Progress bars show how much of each budget is used.
👁 Visible to EveryoneYour personal helper robot! Type a question like "How much did we spend on food last month?" and the AI looks at your feast's data and answers instantly. It's like having a super-smart accountant who never sleeps!
What you can ask: "What was our total income this quarter?", "Compare January vs February expenses", "Which category has the biggest spending?", "How many tithers do we have?", "Give me a summary of last week". The AI uses real data from your feast — it doesn't make things up.
👁 Visible to EveryoneA real map of the Philippines with pins showing where every feast is located! Zoom in, zoom out, click on a pin to see feast details. Like Google Maps but for feasts!
What you'll see: An interactive dark-themed map (Leaflet.js + CartoDB Dark tiles). Each feast with coordinates appears as a pin. Click a pin to see the feast name, address, schedule, and a link to view its transactions.
👁 Visible to EveryoneEach hierarchy level is now a full financial account — not just a read-only view. District, Area, and Provincial levels each have their own cash in/out, transaction history, Tithes of Tithes tracking, and the ability to invite their own Finance Officer.
District View (District Builder & District Finance) — Own financial account, incoming tithes from feasts, Tithes of Tithes obligation upward to Area. Can invite a District Finance Officer.
Area View (Area Builder & Area Finance) — Own financial account, incoming tithes from districts, obligation upward to Provincial. Can invite an Area Finance Officer.
Provincial View (Provincial Team) — Own financial account, incoming tithes from all areas. The top of the hierarchy.
Each level still shows an overview of the entities below it (feasts under a district, districts under an area, etc.) alongside its own account summary.
The control room. This is where leaders manage people: approve new users who request access, manage who is a builder in which district, and where Feast Builders can generate an invite link for their Finance Officer.
Users (Admin) — View and manage every account in your jurisdiction, Finance Officers included. Block or unblock users. View security logs. Found under People in the menu.
Approvals (Feast Builder) — Approve or decline finance officer requests for your feast.
Approvals (System Admin / Provincial Admin) — Approve people requesting builder roles. One menu item leads to whichever queue is yours.
Invite Finance Officer — Builders at EVERY level can invite a Finance Officer for their scope:
• Feast Builder → invites Feast Finance
• District Builder → invites District Finance
• Area Builder → invites Area Finance
• Provincial Builder → invites Provincial Finance
Think of it like a school: the Principal sees everything, the teachers see their class,
and each student sees their own desk. Everyone has a job, and nobody can mess with things that aren't theirs.
Click on any role to learn more!
Two kinds of role at every level. A Builder oversees and reviews (view-only); a Finance officer is the only one who records money at that level. Authority flows top-down, while Tithes of Tithes flow bottom-up: Feast → District → Area → Provincial.
Province-wide view. Provincial Finance handles the provincial-level account.
Area-level view and its own financial account. Area Finance handles cash in/out.
District-level view and its own financial account. District Finance handles cash in/out.
Registers and manages their own feast. Approves edit requests — together with the Feast Admin of the same feast, and the Area Admin over that area — and invites a Finance Officer. Feasts can be reassigned to a different builder if needed.
The ONLY role that can record Cash In & Cash Out. Handles the money!
Only Finance Officers can write data — at every level. Feast Finance handles feast transactions. District Finance handles district transactions. Area Finance handles area transactions. Provincial Finance handles provincial transactions. Builders at every level oversee but don't touch the money. This keeps finances safe and transparent!
Each level gives upward: Feast → District → Area → Provincial. The monthly obligation is the greater of ₱10,000 or 10% of that month's revenue. So if your feast earned ₱150,000, the obligation is ₱15,000 (10%). If revenue is only ₱80,000, the obligation stays at ₱10,000 (the floor).
The dashboard shows a Tithes of Tithes card with the current month's obligation, paid status, and remaining balance. In the last 5 days of the month, a pop-up reminder appears: "Remember to give your Tithes of Tithes to expand beyond your territory."
👁 All Roles See Their ObligationThe Tithes of Tithes is a system where each level gives upward to the level above it — strengthening the community from the ground up. "To expand beyond your territory."
Think of it like a family giving back to the community. Each month:
1. Each Feast gives tithes to their District
2. Each District gives tithes to their Area
3. Each Area gives tithes to Provincial
How much? The minimum obligation is ₱10,000 per month. But if 10% of that month's total revenue is greater than ₱10,000, then 10% becomes the obligation.
Example 1: Feast earned ₱80,000 this month → 10% = ₱8,000 → Obligation is ₱10,000 (minimum floor).
Example 2: Feast earned ₱150,000 this month → 10% = ₱15,000 → Obligation is ₱15,000 (10% exceeds the floor).
In the last 5 days of every month, a pop-up notification appears on the dashboard reminding you: "It's almost the end of the month! Remember to give your Tithes of Tithes to expand beyond your territory."
The notification shows your current obligation amount, whether it's been paid, and a quick "Record Payment" button that takes you directly to Cash Out with the Tithes Remittance category pre-selected. The reminder shows once per day.
On the Dashboard, a dedicated "Tithes of Tithes" card shows: your monthly obligation amount, whether it's paid or pending, and the calculation basis. Every level sees their own obligation — from Feast all the way up to Area.
Click the sidebar items below to see what each page looks like and does. This is a mini preview of the actual app!
What if the Finance Officer made a mistake? They can't just change a transaction — they have to ask permission. Here's how that works, step by step:
The Finance Officer sees a transaction that needs fixing — maybe the amount is wrong, or the category should be different.
On the Transactions page, they click the eye icon (👁) on the transaction → in the detail popup, they click "Request Edit" (orange button at the bottom).
A form pops up asking: Why? (explain the reason), What to change? (describe the correction), and optionally upload supporting images (like a photo of a receipt showing the correct amount).
The Feast Builder — or the Feast Admin of that same feast, or the Area Admin over that area — sees a red badge on the "Edit Requests" tab in Transactions. They click it, see the full request (reason, images, original transaction), and can Approve ✓ or Reject ✗ (with optional notes explaining why).
The District Builder (and anyone higher) can also view these edit requests for oversight — but they can't Approve or Reject. Only the Feast Builder or the Feast Admin of that feast, or the Area Admin over that area, can do that (a System Admin can do it anywhere).
The AI is like a super-smart friend who can look at all your feast's money records and answer questions in plain language. Here's what's happening behind the scenes:
You type something like: "How much did we spend on food last month?"
The AI goes to the database and pulls YOUR feast's real financial data — transactions, tithes, amounts, categories. It ONLY sees data for feasts in your jurisdiction (the same data you can see).
Using smart AI models (Groq → Gemini → OpenAI as fallbacks), the AI looks at the data and gives you a plain-English answer: "Last month, your feast spent ₱3,200 on food across 8 transactions."
The AI doesn't remember previous conversations. It doesn't store your data. Each question is a fresh, separate conversation. Your financial data is NEVER used to train AI models.
Yes, sometimes! AI is smart but not perfect. Always double-check important numbers with the actual Reports or Transactions page. Think of the AI as a helpful assistant, not the final answer.
Your feast's financial data is sacred. We treat it that way. Here's how we protect it, explained as simply as possible:
We never store your password. You login through Google — the same security that protects your Gmail.
You can ONLY see data for your assigned feast / district / area. Finance from Feast A can never see Feast B's money.
All data travels through HTTPS (encrypted connections). Your information is scrambled while moving between your phone/computer and our servers.
Your data lives in a professional-grade database with row-level security — the same technology used by major tech companies.
We will NEVER sell your data. Period. Your financial information is used only to show it back to you and your feast community.
The AI assistant answers your questions but NEVER stores your conversations or uses your data to train AI models. Each chat is independent.
Access violation logging, auto-blocking after repeated unauthorized access attempts, DevTools detection, integrity monitoring, and role tampering detection.
System Admins can block suspicious accounts, view security logs, and unblock users. Full audit trail of all security events.
Here's the deal: It's ₱299 per month per feast. That's it. No hidden fees. And half of that goes to charity.
When you register a new feast, you get 1 full month (30 days) completely free. No credit card needed! Use all features with nothing held back. After 30 days, you choose: subscribe for ₱299/month to keep going, or the feast goes read-only (you can still see your data, but can't add new entries).
Your ₱299/month subscription covers platform maintenance, hosting, security, and continuous feature improvements to serve the LOJ Feast Family. 🙏
Only the Feast Builder who registers the feast handles payment. The Finance Officer, District Builder, Area Builder, and everyone else get FREE access forever. Only one subscription per feast.
If the trial ends and nobody subscribes, the feast goes into read-only mode. That means you can still see all your past data — every transaction, every report — but you CAN'T add new ones. A red banner at the top will remind you to subscribe. No data is ever deleted!
Got questions? Here are the most common ones, answered simply!
Absolutely not! Each feast's data is completely isolated. A Finance Officer from Feast A can NEVER see Feast B's transactions. Even builders only see the feasts within their specific jurisdiction (district, area, etc). Think of it like separate bank accounts — your money records are yours alone.
The system creates transparency, not opportunity. Every transaction is logged with who created it and when. The Feast Builder can see ALL transactions and must approve any edit requests. The District Builder provides an additional layer of oversight. If something looks wrong, the full history is right there. It's like having a security camera on the cash register!
Currently, one Finance Officer per feast. The Feast Builder generates an invite link and sends it to their chosen person. This keeps accountability simple — one person handles the money, one person watches over them.
Your data is NEVER deleted! If your subscription expires, the feast goes into "read-only" mode. You can still log in, see all your past transactions, view reports, and download everything. You just can't add NEW entries until you resubscribe. Think of it like a library book — you can still read it, you just can't write new pages until you renew your card.
Yes! The whole app is mobile-friendly. The sidebar collapses into a hamburger menu (☰) on small screens, and all pages are designed to work on phones and tablets. You can record Cash In right from your phone at the feast venue!
Nope! It's a website — just open your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) and go to the URL. No app store, no download, no updates to install. It always has the latest version.
When you ask a question, the AI temporarily fetches your feast's data from the database (the same data you can see on the Dashboard), includes it as context for the question, and then gives you an answer. After answering, it forgets everything. It's like showing a calculator your numbers, getting the answer, and then the calculator resets. Your data is not stored by the AI or used for training.
Morph Tech Inc. — built with purpose for the LOJ Feast Family. The mission is to bring financial transparency to every feast community in the Philippines.
No. This is by design! The Feast Builder is the overseer — they watch the money but don't handle it. Only the Finance Officer (invited by the Builder) can record Cash In and Cash Out. This applies at every level: District Builders can't record district transactions (that's the District Finance Officer's job), and the same for Area and Provincial levels.
Tithes of Tithes is a system where each level gives upward monthly: Feast → District → Area → Provincial. The obligation is the greater of ₱10,000 or 10% of that month's revenue. It's about expanding beyond your territory and supporting the broader community. The system tracks obligations, shows reminders, and records payments automatically.
Yes! Each level — District, Area, and Provincial — has its own full financial account, just like a feast. They can record cash in/out, view transaction history, generate reports, and track Tithes of Tithes. Each level's Builder can invite their own Finance Officer to handle the money.
The system has a 7-layer security system. If someone tries to access an unauthorized page, the attempt is logged as a security violation. After 5 violations in one hour, their account is automatically blocked. A System Admin can review security logs and unblock accounts from the Users page. The system also detects developer tools, role tampering, and other bypass attempts.
You can reach out to Morph Tech Inc. through the contact information provided by your provincial leadership. You can also use the AI Assistant page for quick questions about how to use the app. We're always working on improvements!
Join feast communities across the Philippines already managing their finances with clarity and purpose.
