How can I tell how a volunteer was placed on the schedule?
Ever wonder how a volunteer was assigned to a position on a schedule? Using the flags next to a volunteer's name in the schedule, you can get a better idea of how they were placed.
Manual |
Volunteer was placed on the schedule manually by an administrator, Web Admin, or Leader. |
Repeating |
Volunteer has a repeating assignment - either a preassignment or is on a rotating team. |
Requested |
Volunteer requested to be placed through the Web Terminal by clicking "volunteer now" and a Web Form was submitted and processed. |
Auto |
The auto-scheduler placed the volunteer in the position according to their preferences and settings at the time the auto-scheduler was run. |
Extra |
Volunteer was flagged as an "extra" by an administrator, Web Admin, or Leader. |
Swap Requested |
Volunteer requested a sub, either through the Web Terminal where a Web Form was submitted and processed or through an admin or Leader submitting a sub request for them. |
Extra (swap made) |
Volunteer filled a sub request. To view the original volunteer, hover over the the words "swap made" and the original volunteer will be displayed in hover text. |
Extra (no show) |
Volunteer filled in for a volunteer who did not show up. To view the original volunteer, hover over the the words "no show" and the original volunteer will be displayed in hover text. |
No flag |
If a volunteer is showing and there is no flag, this is due to using the copy/paste function or having cleared the flag. |
