Viewing Services

On the web app, services appear in two places under Calendar in the top navigation:
  • Calendar sub-tab — Month, Week, or Day calendar views
  • Services sub-tab — Card grid of all services
There is no single toggle that switches between “Card View” and “Calendar View” on the Services sub-tab. Those are separate sub-tabs.
Who can see which sub-tabs depends on your role:
  • Owner / Org Admin — Calendar, Services, Events, Rooms, Resources
  • Team Admin / Scheduler — Calendar and Services only
  • Member / Viewer — Calendar only (Services sub-tab is hidden)

​
Services Sub-Tab (Card Grid)

The Services sub-tab displays services as cards in a grid layout. Each service card shows:
  • Service Name
  • Date and Time (start and end)
  • Location
  • Teams assigned to the service
  • Status indicators (upcoming, past, next upcoming)
Cards are organized:
  • A featured row of the next 3 upcoming services at the top; the nearest one has a green border
  • Past services (dimmed) in the main grid, followed by remaining upcoming services

​
Accessing the Services Sub-Tab

  1. Click Calendar in the top navigation
  2. Click the Services sub-tab
  3. Services display as cards automatically — no view toggle required
From here you can also use action buttons such as Schedule Team Members, Auto Schedule, and (on the Calendar sub-tab only) Export Schedule.

​
Calendar Sub-Tab (Month / Week / Day)

The Calendar sub-tab shows services on a traditional calendar. This is useful for:
  • Seeing services in chronological context
  • Understanding service frequency
  • Visualizing patterns over time

​
Calendar View Options

You can view the calendar in three timeframes:

​
Month View

  • Shows an entire month at a time
  • See all services for the month in one view
  • Navigate between months using Previous/Next buttons

​
Week View

  • Shows one week at a time
  • More detailed view of services within a week
  • Navigate between weeks

​
Day View

  • Shows a single day in detail
  • See all services happening on that specific day
  • Navigate between days

​
Calendar Navigation

In the Calendar sub-tab, you can:
  • Use ← Prev and Next → buttons to navigate
  • Click Today to jump to the current date
  • Switch between Month, Week, and Day using the view buttons at the top

​
Accessing the Calendar Sub-Tab

  1. Click Calendar in the top navigation
  2. Click the Calendar sub-tab (this is the default when you open Calendar)
  3. Select Month, Week, or Day as needed
Export Schedule appears on the Calendar sub-tab only, not on the Services sub-tab.

​
Service Status Indicators

Both sub-tabs show service status:
  • Upcoming Services — Normal display; featured row shows next 3 upcoming, nearest with green border
  • Past Services — Dimmed/faded to show they’ve already occurred

​
Interacting with Services

From the Services sub-tab (Owner / Org Admin):
  • Click a service card to open the service detail page
From the Calendar sub-tab:
  • Click a service to switch to Services tab and scroll/highlight that card (does not open detail page directly)
Team Admins and Schedulers use Schedule Team Members for assignments; service cards may not be clickable for them.

​
Mobile App

On the ChurchBuddy mobile app, services are viewed from the Calendar tab:
  1. Tap a date to see services and events for that day
  2. Tap a service to view details, availability, or check-in options (based on your permissions)
See the Mobile App documentation for mobile-specific navigation.

​
Choosing the Right View

Use the Services sub-tab when:
  • You want a list-like card grid of all services
  • You’re scheduling, auto-scheduling, or managing services in bulk
Use the Calendar sub-tab when:
  • You want to see services in chronological calendar context
  • You’re planning over longer time periods
  • You need to export the schedule
