Planning Center Home is a place for Administrators to keep a pulse on what's happening in the church. It has a dashboard of configurable widgets and a tab for tasks, so people can stay up to date about what's going on and what needs to be done.
When you log in for the first time, you'll be taken to Planning Center Home. If you're already logged in to Planning Center, you can access Home from the product switcher in the top left.
On the Dashboard, you can add widgets automatically or allow Planning Center to add widgets based on the products you can access,
From Tasks, you can create to-do lists to keep the important work in front of you.
There are two Check-Ins widgets you can add:
-
Popular Stations: This widget allows you to see the Check-Ins stations that are used the most across all events or for a specific one.
-
First-Time Visitors: This widget shows people who first attended any event or a specific event in the last week or month. Visitors are not included.
The Groups widget has the same configuration settings and puts different data on the widget depending on the type of widget and configuration you choose.
