Assign Leaders to Service Items

Assign leaders to individual songs and service items in Planning to make it clear who is leading each part of your service. You can assign worship leaders, vocalists, Scripture readers, prayer leaders, pastors, or other scheduled team members.

Assign a Leader

• From the navigation menu, select Services.
• Open an existing service or create a new one.
• From the Order tab, locate the song or service item you want to assign.
• In the Leader field, search for and select the team member you want to assign.
• To assign more than one leader to an item, select additional team members.

You can only assign people who are already scheduled for that service. If someone does not appear when you search, confirm that they have first been added to the service schedule.

When a leader is assigned, the Leader column displays their avatar or initials in the service order. If multiple people are assigned, their avatars appear together.

Remove an Assigned Leader

To remove a leader from a service item, remove the person from the item's Leader field.

Removing an assigned leader from an item does not remove them from the service schedule. It only removes their assignment to that specific service item.

When a Leader Declines

If an assigned team member declines their scheduling request, their service item assignment automatically updates so the service order reflects the current schedule.
