You can add new shifts to your schedule at any time. Each shift includes a date, time, and volunteer roles. Follow the steps below to set one up.
- Open your schedule
- Click “New shift" to create your first shift, or "+ Create another shift" to add a shift.
Set shift details
Date: Choose the shift date.
Start and end times: Pick from the dropdown or type in exact times for more precision.
Repeat (optional): If the shift repeats, choose the repeat pattern and optionally set start/end dates.
Location (optional): Add a location if needed.
Jobs needed for this shift: If the job that you need is not in the list of jobs (or if no jobs have been created yet), you can use the "+ Add another job" link to create a new job.
Tips
Typing times directly gives you more flexibility than the dropdown.
Use repeat settings to save time when creating recurring shifts. These will also be added to future schedules if no end date is set.
If volunteers arrive or leave at different times, consider creating multiple shifts with the specified jobs at each Shift.
