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
- Open the Event Dashboard for your event
- Click the Services tab
- Click Add Service
- Fill in:
- Service Name (e.g., “Opening Session”, “Worship Service”)
- Start Date and Time
- End Date and Time
- Location (optional)
- Teams - Select involved teams
- Configure recurrence if needed (same rules as regular services, max 20 occurrences)
- Save
Managing Event Services
Editing
- Event Dashboard → Services
- Click Edit on the service card (Owner / Org Admin only)
- Save changes
Removing
- Event Dashboard → Services
- Delete the service
- Confirm removal
Scheduling for Event Services
- Open Event Dashboard → Services
- Click Schedule Teams on any service card (Owner / Org Admin only)
- The Schedule Team Members page opens, filtered to this event’s services only
- Scroll through service cards and assign people to positions (auto-saves)
- 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:- Event Dashboard → Services
- Click Share Schedule (Owner / Org Admin only; modal title: “Share Service Team Schedules”)
- Copy and share the public link
Best Practices
- Name clearly - e.g., “Friday Night Worship” or “Session 1: Welcome”
- Set times accurately - Include start and end times
- Assign teams early - Schedule well in advance
- Use consistent locations - Set at event level if all services share a venue
