1. Create Your First Schedule
When you first start using Volunteer Scheduler Pro, you will be asked to set the start and end dates for your first schedule:
Once you have made the schedule, be sure to add your shifts so volunteers will be able to sign up!
If you skipped this step when you created your account, use the "+" button in the Schedules pane when you are ready.
2. Publish Your Schedule
Once you are ready for volunteers to start signing up, click the "Publish" button to set up preferences and publish your schedule:
If you will not be adding volunteers yourself, but will instead be asking individuals to create their own accounts during the sign up process, be sure to select "Public schedule" when setting your preferences for this schedule:
3. Start Scheduling!

(*) This is an especially important step if you have published a "Protected schedule" as opposed to a "Public schedule", since only volunteers who are already in your database can access protected schedules.
