Shifts
Shifts are created within the Festival Section where they’ll be used. You can find your Festival Sections in the sidebar of your festival dashboard.
Creating a Shift
To create a Shift, open the Shifts tab and click Create in the upper right.
Then fill out the relevant information for that shift.
Assigning Shifts
When helping you find where to assign shifts, we will refer to the Assign button located on the right of each shift in the Shifts tab.
However, you can get to the same place by clicking Assign Responders when editing a shift.
Assigning Crew to Shifts
You can assign Crew by selecting an Assignee during shift creation or editing the shift. Locate the Assigned Crew dropdown menu to assign someone in the list.
You may also assign Crew by clicking Assign on the right of the shift to start.
Assigning Volunteers to Shifts
First, you'll need some open volunteer slots in the created shift. This can be done when creating the shift, editing it, or via the Assign button on the right of the shift (shown above).
Volunteers can then be assigned to any open slot from within the Assign Shift slide-out. To get there, use the Assign button in the list of shifts.
Setting Volunteer Shifts for Sale
Shifts for sale can be picked up by volunteers through the Claim Shifts tab on their My Page.
To set a shift for sale click Assign on the right side of the shift.
Then click the Mark For Sale button for each Responder Slot you want to offer your volunteers.
Announcements
Announcements can be created for the volunteers with a shift in that Festival Section.
Creating an Announcement
Within a Festival Section, open the Announcements tab and click Create.
Where They Appear
Volunteers will see their announcements on the first page of their My Page.
Announcements made to all volunteers (global) are created within a Public Form.
