> Who is serving where, since when, and whether it took. GiftWell asks a month after every placement and keeps the honest answer.

## Placing someone

From a person's page, **Place them** asks for the ministry or team and a start date. Their status becomes *placed*, the ministry's suggested list loses them, and if Planning Center is connected and the ministry is linked to a team, GiftWell can add them to that team's roster.

## Did it take?

About a month after each placement a check-in comes due: on this page, on the Overview, and in the digest. The answer is **yes**, **no**, or **not yet**, with a note. If Planning Center is connected, GiftWell looks first at whether the person has actually been scheduled on that team and says so, so the check-in starts from fact rather than memory.

A **no** is not a failure; it is how the 90-day experiment the result promised ends honestly. The person's page keeps the placement in the timeline, and their suggestions are open again.

## The list

Every placement, filterable by ministry, by whether it took, and by who placed them. The counts at the top are how your church's assessment is doing at the one thing that matters: people who tried a team and stayed.

## Who sees what

Leaders place and check in on people within the ministries they lead. Pastors and up see every placement.
