Organize your dashboard: folders, grid view & sorting

1. Create a folder.

   On the dashboard, click + New folder in the toolbar next to the search box, type a name — “Fall 2026,” “Traditional worship,” “Meal trains,” “Kids” — and click Create folder. The folder appears as a heading with nothing in it yet.

2. File a sheet.

   Every sheet card has a Folder menu next to Duplicate and Archive. Pick the folder and the sheet moves under that heading right away. The same menu is at the top of the sheet's own page.

   In a hurry? Pick New folder… from that menu instead: type the name, click Create, and the folder is made with that sheet already in it.

3. Rename or remove a folder.

   Each folder heading has Rename and Delete folder beside it. Deleting a folder asks once, then sends its sheets back to the main list — the sheets themselves are never deleted.

Folders list A–Z, with any sheets you haven't filed under a Not in a folder heading at the end. Within each folder, sheets follow whatever sort you've chosen. Pick No folder from a sheet's menu to take it back out.

Click a folder's name to collapse it — last quarter's rota can stay filed without taking up the screen. Click again to open it. Which folders are collapsed is remembered in that browser, so the dashboard opens the way you left it.

Two things come along for the ride: Duplicate puts the copy in the same folder as the original, and a recurring sheet's next occurrence stays in its folder each week. The Archived section at the bottom stays one flat list whatever folders you have, and a restored sheet reappears under its folder.

Next to the Sort by menu is a List / Grid switch. List is the one-sheet-per-row view the dashboard has always had. Grid shows the same cards as tiles, two across on a laptop and three on a wide screen, with the Live / Draft badge up top and Duplicate, Archive, and the Folder menu along the bottom — so a church with twenty sheets sees most of them without scrolling. Phones stay one across either way.

Your choice is remembered in that browser, and search results and the archive use it too.

The Sort by menu orders sheets by Event date (soonest first; sheets with no date, like connect cards, at the end), Newest first, or Title A–Z. It applies inside every folder and to search results, and the dashboard remembers it per browser. Sheets whose slots carry their own dates — meal trains, flower calendars — sort by their next upcoming date.

The search box above the list looks through every sheet, slot, and person at once, folders or no folders — type part of a title, a slot name, or a volunteer's email. Results come back as one list (with each card's Folder menu, so you can file as you go). Clear the search to get your folders back.
