Creating a Service
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Now that you have OpenLP set up the way you want, it is time to put it to use.
|
|
|
|
Everything you need to display will be in the left panel called the
|
|
:ref:`g-media-manager`, under their respective categories. Using the
|
|
:ref:`g-media-manager` you can add new media, songs, images, Bibles or create a
|
|
custom slide as discussed earlier in the :ref:`media-manager` section.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: pics/mediamanager_songs.png
|
|
|
|
On the right side of your screen at the top is the Service Manager. Everything
|
|
you want to display should be in the Service Manager and preferably in the order
|
|
you want to display it.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. _new_service:
|
|
|
|
New, Open and Saving the Service
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Three icons at the top of the *Service Manager* will do the following:
|
|
|
|
|service_new| **Create a new service:**
|
|
This first icon will create a New Service.
|
|
|
|
|service_open| **Load an existing service:**
|
|
This second icon will open an already created service file. Use this icon to
|
|
to find the location of your file or you can open a saved service by
|
|
dragging and dropping it into the service manager. The service will be
|
|
opened and the existing service replaced. You will first be prompted to save
|
|
your previous service if changes were made.
|
|
|
|
|service_save| **Save this service:**
|
|
This icon will Save the service you created, added to, or rearranged. The
|
|
order of service, songs, images, Bible verses, service notes, and custom
|
|
slides are all saved in the file.
|
|
|
|
Editing Songs in the Service
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can create your service file on a different computer than the projection
|
|
computer. If a song is not in the projection computer database when you open the
|
|
saved file OpenLP will automatically import the song into the song database with
|
|
this option checked here :ref:`config_songs` "Add missing songs when opening
|
|
service." If this option is not selected, and the song is not in your database,
|
|
you will see a popup when you mouseover the song in the service manager.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: pics/service_manager_edit.png
|
|
|
|
You always have the ability to edit the song in the service manager by right
|
|
clicking on the song and choosing :menuselection:`Edit Item` from the context
|
|
menu. Follow the directions here :ref:`songs_create_edit` to make changes to
|
|
your song.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Editing a song in :ref:`creating_service` will be applied to
|
|
the :ref:`media-manager` song database. Editing a song in the :ref:`media-manager`
|
|
will be applied to the song in your :ref:`creating_service`.
|
|
|
|
Adding Media
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
To add your media you can click on an item in the :ref:`media-manager` hold and
|
|
drag your selection from the :ref:`media-manager` over to the *Service Manager*
|
|
or, after clicking the media or verse you want to use, click the |add_plus|.
|
|
This will add your media to the service side at the bottom. Once it is in the
|
|
Service Manager you can click on your item and drag and drop it in the order you
|
|
want or, click the item and use the icons shown below to move it up or down in
|
|
the order you want.
|
|
|
|
|service_top| Move item to the top of the service.
|
|
|
|
|service_up| Move item up one position in the service.
|
|
|
|
|service_down| Move item down one position in the service.
|
|
|
|
|service_bottom| Move item to the end of the service.
|
|
|
|
To view your Bible or song verses one by one, use the icons below. This is a
|
|
convenient way to move around through the verses if they are skipped or repeated.
|
|
Double-click on the verse you want to display live.
|
|
|
|
|service_expand| Expand all the service items.
|
|
|
|
|service_collapse| Collapse all the service items.
|
|
|
|
|live| Send the selected item to Live.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** You always have the option to send any media live direct from the
|
|
:ref:`media-manager`. Please see the :ref:`media-manager` section for more
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Displaying an Item
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
When you have all of your items needed for the service in your Service Manager
|
|
there are a few ways to get them to display on the screen. You can double-click
|
|
the item, click it once with the mouse and push the :kbd:`Enter` key on your
|
|
keyboard, right click the item and left click *Show Live* or click it once with
|
|
the mouse and click on the projector |live| at the bottom of the Service Manager.
|
|
|
|
Any of these methods will display your item on
|
|
the screen. When your item is displayed, it will appear in the Live windows just
|
|
to the left of the Service Manager.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: pics/slidecontroller.png
|
|
|
|
To Preview an item in the left *Preview* panes, right click the item and left
|
|
click *Show Preview*.
|
|
|
|
Changing a Service Theme
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
When you get your Service file set up and you are previewing a slide or sending
|
|
it Live and you notice you don't have the correct theme for it, you can right
|
|
click the item and mouseover :guilabel:`Change Item Theme` and select the theme
|
|
you want to use.
|
|
|
|
An easy way to check which theme you are using is to move your mouse cursor over
|
|
an item in your service and you will see a popup with the theme being used.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: pics/service_manager_theme.png
|
|
|
|
Moving Through a Service
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Once you have your first item displayed live you can move through the service in
|
|
a couple of ways. You can double-click on each item you need displayed, or click
|
|
it once and press enter. If your songs, verses, etc. are in the order you will
|
|
be displaying them, you can use the :kbd:`Right Arrow` key on your keyboard to
|
|
move down through your service. Pressing the :kbd:`Left Arrow` key will move up
|
|
through the service. Every time you press the :kbd:`Left Arrow` or
|
|
:kbd:`Right Arrow` key the next item in your Service will be displayed.
|
|
|
|
Moving Through a Song, Bible Verses or Images
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When you display a song or Bible verse with multiple verses you will need to
|
|
move through them. When a song or verse is being displayed you will see the
|
|
lyrics in the top Live window and how it actually appears on your display
|
|
in the bottom Live window.
|
|
|
|
To change slides you can use your mouse to click on each slide in the top Live
|
|
window, use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow icons under the top Live window.
|
|
|
|
|slide_next| Move to next.
|
|
|
|
|slide_previous| Move to previous.
|
|
|
|
You can use the :kbd:`Down Arrow` key to move down through
|
|
the song or verses. Using the :kbd:`Up Arrow` key will move you from bottom to
|
|
top. :kbd:`Page Up` and :kbd:`Page Down` keys will do the same thing.
|
|
|
|
There is shortcut support for the Live Controller in OpenLP. This allows you to
|
|
navigate through, and jump between, your slides in the Live Controller using only
|
|
your keyboard. This works for any type of slides, e.g. songs, Bible verses and
|
|
images.
|
|
|
|
**How does it work?**
|
|
|
|
If you want to jump to verse 3 using the keyboard you press :kbd:`v` and within
|
|
a time frame of 350ms you press :kbd:`3`. Keep in mind to be quick and you will
|
|
be successful.
|
|
|
|
The available keyboard shortcuts are:
|
|
|
|
* Verse: v
|
|
* Chorus: c
|
|
* Bridge: b
|
|
* Pre-Chorus: p
|
|
* Intro: i
|
|
* Ending: e
|
|
* Other: o
|
|
* and the numbers from 0-9
|

.. _adding_images:
|
|
|
|
Adding a Group of Images
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
At some point you may have a group of images to display together. It may be
|
|
pictures from a youth group adventure, bulletin announcements, or some other
|
|
reason. Once you add your images to the :ref:`media-manager` hold the :kbd:`Ctrl`
|
|
key on your keyboard and click each image you want to add as a group. As you
|
|
click the images they will remain highlighted. When you are done with your
|
|
selections you can either click the |buttons_add| icon above the images or,
|
|
click on one of the highlighted images, hold the mouse button and drag them over
|
|
to the Service Manager side and place them where you need them.

|
images, left click the image you want to add and hold the mouse button and drag

two options, :guilabel:`Add New Item` and :guilabel:`Add to Selected Item`.
