Schedule overview
Each program in INVOLVE has a schedule where you can create and assign shifts to your volunteers. You can then email the shifts to the volunteers to confirm or decline. You can also add open shifts that volunteers can request to help with.
Navigate to the Schedule tab in a program, and we can note the following features:
- Email schedule button - Email a group of volunteers a unique link to access their schedule for the next two months. See more on notifying volunteers of shifts.
- Schedule view - view the schedule by day, week, month or by clocked-on and navigate forward and backward through it.
- Create shift button - allows you to quickly add a new shift
- Role heading - volunteers are grouped by their role. See more on managing roles, including the order in which they appear on the schedule
- Open shift row - Add open shifts if you are not sure which volunteer will be assigned. Volunteers can request to do these shifts
- Volunteer shift row - The volunteer's shifts for that day/week/month. Public holidays and volunteer availability are marked on their schedule, so you know when they are available to volunteer.
- Shift popover - activated by selecting a shift cell, this is a snapshot of the shift details, including the shift title, time, status, a link to notify the volunteer of this shift and the edit menu to delete or update the details.
