When VideoPsalm creates a CCLI songbook, all it does is select the "Songbook imported from CCLI / SongSelect" checkbox:
You can create many such CCLI songbooks, if you want or need to.
Note When you add a CCLI song to the agenda, VideoPsalm will also add it to the first CCLI songbook that there is. If there is non, it will create a new songbook, and mark it as a CCLI / SongSelect songbook.
This is the only purpose of this checkbox.

SongSelect song usage reporting
In case your church needs to report the song usage to CCLI, VideoPsalm can prepare a list for you.
This is how to proceed:
1. Every Sunday, build an agenda with all the songs that you will need to report to CCLI.
At the end of the meeting, save the agenda, for example in a folder named “2015 Agendas”.
2. At the end of the year, when the time has come to report the song usage, re-open all the past year's agendas at once in VideoPsalm.
3. Click the “Copy” button.
This will put an agenda description into the Windows Clipboard, that you can paste in an Excel document or in whatever document you need it into.
4. Close VideoPsalm without saving the changes.
