Planning Center Live | 065

Did you know that Planning Center Services offers a function to help you track how long a service has gone?

It is called Planning Center LIVE.

Planning Center LIVE allows you to take a plan in Planning Center and move through the elements in real time. helping. This is particularly helpful when tracking what elements comes next in real time but also super helpful after the event, identifying what elements ran over or under their scheduled time.

I have uploaded a video to help with training as well.
