Programs (web panel)

From Programs in the web panel you build the order of each service: the list of songs, Bible readings, presentations, and media to project.

Programs created in the web panel are automatically available in the desktop app on the day of the service.

The program list is shown with:

  • Program name
  • Associated date (if any)
  • Linked calendar event (if any)
  • Number of items
  • Last modified

Available filters: All, Upcoming, Past, Templates.

The + New program button in the top right:

  1. Give it a name (e.g. “Sunday service Jan 12”).
  2. Optionally, an associated date and calendar event.
  3. Click Create. It takes you to the program editor.

The editor has three areas:

  • Left sidebar — library to drag items from (songs, Bible, media, presentations).
  • Center panel — the ordered list of program items.
  • Right panel — detail of the selected item.

  • Internal note — visible only to the team, not projected.
  • Specific theme — overrides the global theme for this item only.
  • Estimated time — handy for calculating total duration.

If the program corresponds to a calendar event:

  1. In the editor → Event → pick the event.
  2. The program gets linked and shows up as the “event’s program” when you view the event detail.
  3. The date is autofilled from the event.

See Calendar for creating events.

Useful for repeated services with a similar structure:

  1. In the list, the program menu () → Duplicate.
  2. Edit the copy with the changes specific to the next service.

It also works from the editor: Actions → Duplicate this program.

For a base structure (e.g. “Typical Sunday service”):

  1. Create a program with the typical order (opening, opening song, announcements, reading, sermon, closing).
  2. Mark it as a Template (toggle in the editor header).
  3. Templates appear in the Templates filter of the list.
  4. Each week, you duplicate the template and adjust the specific songs.

If two members edit the same program at the same time:

  • Each person’s changes show live on the other’s screen.
  • Cursors are shown in the color of the user who’s editing.

Menu () → Delete. It asks for confirmation. Deletion is permanent.

Menu () → Export PDF. Generates a PDF with:

  • Title and date
  • Numbered list of items
  • Song lyrics (optional)
  • Internal notes (optional)

Useful for printing and handing out to the music team or the preacher.
