Use the Teams & Groups hub in People
The Teams & Groups hub gives organization administrators a single place to view and create groups and Services teams. It's especially helpful when you're setting up Planning Center for the first time or onboarding after a migration.
Important
This feature is only available to organization administrators.
To access the hub:
Open the People product.
Select the People page from the top navigation.
Select the Teams & Groups tab.
Decide between a team and a group
The question to consider when deciding whether to create a new team or a new group is: Will you need to schedule these people for a service/event? If they're going to be scheduled, create a team. For non-scheduled or everything else, create a group.
Here are a few specific examples:
Team: If you need to schedule people for worship, tech, kids ministry, or any rotating volunteer role.
Group: If you want to connect people for community, communication, or shared resources like a pastoral staff team, elder board, or women's Bible study.
Create a new team or group
Select the People page from the top navigation.
Select the Teams & Groups tab.
Select the New team or group button in the top right.
Select whether to create a team or a group. Depending on which one you pick, you'll be taken to Services or Groups to complete the setup.
Team: Here's how to create a new team in Services.
Group: Here's how to create a new group in Groups.
View your teams and groups
The Teams tab shows all of your existing Services teams, the Groups tab shows all of your existing groups, and the All tab shows them both in searchable lists. Both are read-only in this view — to manage a team or group, select its name to open it directly in Services or Groups.
If one of the tabs is empty, you haven't set anything up in that product yet. If you're not subscribed to Services or Groups, the tab will show a link to subscribe.
