Checking and publishing a schedule

Before parishioners see a schedule, run a quick Check, then Publish. Publishing is what makes it visible and feeds it into This Week.

Check it

• 1. On the schedule, click Check.
• 2. Vianney reports any incomplete ministries (slots still open) and flags any assignment that lands on someone's blackout (usually from a manual override).
• 3. Decide whether to fill the gaps or publish as is — open slots do not block publishing.

Publish

• 1. Click Publish. The schedule appears to parishioners and its ministers show up in This Week.
• 2. Need to make changes? Unpublish to take it back to draft; it stops showing immediately.

Tips

• Publishing is reversible, so it is safe to publish and refine.
• Ask servers to record their availability in the portal so future checks come back cleaner.
• Only published schedules count anywhere else in Vianney — a draft is yours alone until you publish.
