Songs Library Access for Helpers

A long awaited feature of WorshipPlanning.com has finally arrived. Helpers can now view the details of every entry in your church’s Songs Library. For those not familiar with the issue, it used to be that Helpers could only access song details and files of those scheduled for services that the Helpers themselves were scheduled. This was done for multiple reasons, including a way for worship leaders to limit how song details and files were shared. But we feel the solution we rolled out last night is much better. Most worship leaders should have received an email last night with details on how this new feature works. If you didn’t, you can check out our support pages (http://support.worshipplanning.com) in the next day or so for the full rundown, or just send us an email.

The next big feature we roll out is one that many, many churches have asked us about. It is a tremendously improved “assignment” page….the page where people are schedule to serve. I won’t go into all the details, but let me mention just a few:

  • Drag and Drop
  • Assigning an entire team at once
  • Schedule conflict alerts
  • Schedule across multiple services on a single screen
  • Sound exciting? We can’t wait to roll it out….except that we first need to finish developing it. Hopefully it will be ready for beta testing in 2-3 weeks.

Video Tutorials

Video Tutorials have arrived…at least the first batch. We still have many more we are working on, but these first 10 or so should be pretty informative, especially for those new to WP. We also created a MyWP Overview that we plan on linking directly from the landing page for your Helpers new to MyWP.

You might also have noticed that we have made good progress fleshing out the Support Topics. As we track searches done on the support pages, we will tune and fill-in the topics that people need help on.

Thanks for being patient.
