Planning Center How-To's

When you’re ready to make an Event “real” or “enabled” for the system to use, do stuff to, and people other than PCO Admins to see, make sure you set “Visibility” to “Published” 

To make an Event (PCO Calendar Event) viewable on the public calendar on our webpage, add the “tag” “Published” to the event.

On events that the Media Team needs to be involved in please add AVL resources by clicking on “Edit” the event and under “Resources not in a room” click browse and add some “A/V/L Resources" to the event such as Audio Technician. It doesn’t have to be exact. Just as long as one or more are added it will propagate to our systems

For a registration to show up on the webpage the “Category” “Published” needs to be added to the registration. This is found under the configuration tab then “edit Categories” and add “published”. Any number of categories can be added but they must include “published” to show on the webpage

Until a bug is fixed (later or never - not up to me), a Registration also has to have a date to show up on the webpage. For things like Prayer requests or baptisms that don’t really have a date, I have added a section to the signups page for “ongoing signups” and we’ll just manually update that when we need to add something. This shouldn't be too often. Any time the form is archived or recreated we will need to manually update any place there is a link because a new link is generated by PCO.
