If you have for some reason (or accidentally) deleted a meeting, you can use this feature. Once Undelete Meetings is clicked, a pop up will appear that includes a list of any deleted meetings with a checkbox. Click the box to indicate which meeting to Undelete.

If you want to show the names of those signed up, click the box next to Show Names. Otherwise, it will only show teams, number of people needed and number of spots filled.

If you need to add a single meeting to a specific week and not on a recurring basis, you can click the Add Single Meeting button on the top right corner of the Scheduler view.

  1. Select the Date and Time for your Meeting.

Navigation to Future Meeting Views

You may view the next four upcoming Meetings by clicking on the right arrow at the top of the Scheduler view. You may navigate back to your current four-week view by clicking on the left arrow or by refreshing the page.

Signed Up vs. Still Needed

Your Scheduler will reveal per Team how many people you have out of how many people you need (according to Registration > Time Slot settings). The box will be black if you have as many as you indicated you need. The box will be read if you have not yet reached the goal.

If you have your Team(s) broken down further into Sub-Groups, you may wish to click on the box to view the breakdown of those committed by Sub-Group. The Sub-Group with the unmet goal will be red.

If the person you are manually adding to the time slot or meeting is unavailable at that date and time, you will see that indicated. It will not keep you from being able to schedule them. It will just let you know that they’ve indicated that they are unavailable.
