Service Worksheet
The Worksheet is the hub of WorshiPlanner. It is a series of independent lines linked to Library, Songs, or Member databases. Label a line Call to Worship on the left side, Adult Choir on the right side, and use the Library database. Edit this line, and the Music Library appears on the screen. Double-click to select a song and it is entered on this line. When the song title is in the worship order, its history usage is tracked.
The basic unit of the Service Worksheet is the line. Each line is associated with a database (Library, Songs, or Members).
