How to: create your first open shift
- Navigate to your program and select the Schedule tab
- Select the cell in the open shift row that corresponds with today or tomorrow
- When the shift slide-out appears, type in '3' for the number of slots; this is "how many volunteers you need to allocate for this shift"
- Add a shift title, for example, 'information session'
- Select the save button at the bottom of the slide-out
You have just created your first open shift, ready to assign to volunteers 👍🏿
Use these when more than one volunteer is doing the same shift. Not only does it save time by avoiding the need to create a separate shift each time, but it also cascades changes to volunteers assigned to a slot when you change your original open shift details.
