Best Practices for Effective Service Planning

  • Templates: Speed up the planning process for recurring services by creating and utilizing templates.
  • Event Timing: Remember, if an event is set as all-day, timestamps won't appear on the service plan.
  • Attachments: Use external storage links, such as Google Drive or Dropbox, for easy access to relevant materials.
