Once you have added the desired shifts to your schedule, you are ready to publish! To publish your schedule, first click on the "Publish" button in the upper right:
This will take you to your schedule settings, where you will first be given the opportunity to edit your schedule's title and description, if desired:
When you are ready, click the "Continue" button in the bottom right to set preferences for this schedule. Here, you can specify:
- Access: choose whether a schedule is "Public", meaning anyone with a link to the schedule can sign up, or "Protected", meaning only volunteers in your database can sign up.
- Changes: choose whether volunteers can cancel their own assignments, or whether they will need to request substitutes instead. You can also choose to only allow this up to a certain number of days in advance of the assignment, after which point the volunteer will not be able to make changes to that assignment.
- Notifications: choose whether volunteers will receive confirmation emails after they sign up, and whether they will receive email reminders before their assignments. You can also choose how many days in advance they should receive the reminder emails.
- Ask volunteers for: choose what information volunteers should provide when they sign up for a position (note that Name and Email are always required).
- Administrators: choose which of your administrators can manage positions in this schedule, and whether those admins should be CCed on notifications and emails related to this schedule.
When you have finished setting up your preferences as desired, click the "Publish" button in the lower right to publish the schedule. (Note: you can edit these preferences later if you wish.)
