Services in Events

Events can include services (worship services, sessions, meetings, etc.) managed within the event context — separate from regular Calendar services.

Understanding Event Services

When you create a service within an event:
  • It is stored as part of the event
  • It appears in Event Dashboard → Services
  • It does not appear in Calendar → Services
  • Teams are scheduled via bulk scheduling filtered to this event

Adding a Service to an Event

  1. Open the Event Dashboard for your event
  2. Click the Services tab
  3. Click Add Service
  4. Fill in:
    • Service Name (e.g., “Opening Session”, “Worship Service”)
    • Start Date and Time
    • End Date and Time
    • Location (optional)
    • Teams - Select involved teams
  5. Configure recurrence if needed (same rules as regular services, max 20 occurrences)
  6. Save

Managing Event Services

Editing

  1. Event Dashboard → Services
  2. Click Edit on the service card (Owner / Org Admin only)
  3. Save changes

Removing

  1. Event Dashboard → Services
  2. Delete the service
  3. Confirm removal
Removing a service also removes all team assignments for that service.

Scheduling for Event Services

  1. Open Event Dashboard → Services
  2. Click Schedule Teams on any service card (Owner / Org Admin only)
  3. The Schedule Team Members page opens, filtered to this event’s services only
  4. Scroll through service cards and assign people to positions (auto-saves)
  5. Return to the Event Dashboard when finished
This uses the same bulk scheduler as regular services (/org-schedule-team/), but filtered to the current event.

Sharing Service Schedules

Share who’s serving at each event service:
  1. Event Dashboard → Services
  2. Click Share Schedule (Owner / Org Admin only; modal title: “Share Service Team Schedules”)
  3. Copy and share the public link

Best Practices

  1. Name clearly - e.g., “Friday Night Worship” or “Session 1: Welcome”
  2. Set times accurately - Include start and end times
  3. Assign teams early - Schedule well in advance
  4. Use consistent locations - Set at event level if all services share a venue
