Assign Volunteers From a Calendar Grid

By default, you will be able to assign volunteers to selected activities within the two month period shown. By clicking on the green [Previous Month] or [Next Month] buttons, you can display a different two-month period.

In the “Filters” section, you can optionally choose which Activity Category or specific Activity you would like to display.

• < Min # signed up: The number of people signed up is less than the minimum specified for the shift/Activity (also known as “Vacant”)
• Min # signed up: The number of people signed up is equal to or greater than the minimum specified for the shift/Activity
• Min # scheduled: The number of people assigned is equal to or greater than the minimum specified for the shift/Activity
• Min # confirmed: The number of people confirmed for an Activity assignment is equal to or greater than the minimum specified for the shift/Activity

To view scheduled activities for one date or an entire month

Move your mouse over a single date square or the month heading. You will see a list of status values (Vacant, Signed Up, Assigned, Confirmed). The first number represents the number of shifts with that status. The second number is the total number of shifts on that date/month.
