Planning Center Details | 145

In this ProTip, I want to review with you how you can create/update the details on a specific item.  At the end of this ProTip, I will also show you how the DreamTeam member will see those details.

While the notes and specifics in this ProTip will speak to our Arts/Music Teams… the principal for adding details is the same no matter what ministry you serve.

Edit Item Details

Songs, media, and other items such as announcements can be edited before or adding after adding them to the Service Order.

Add or edit item details.

For a song item, you can also edit the arrangement and key details.

If your church has planned your service, you’ll see the plan items in the main section of the page. If your page is empty, your church just hasn’t planned anything for the service yet.
