General¶

Calendar Start

Enter the first date for this Scheduler. The Calendar Start and Calendar End dates control which meetings appear on the Scheduler and on the registration page. Meetings before the Calendar Start date do not appear for volunteers to sign up.

Calendar End

Enter the last date for this Scheduler. Meetings after the Calendar End date do not appear on the registration page. If you enter one calendar date, you must also enter the other.

Tip

If your event takes place on only one day, enter that date as the Calendar Start and the following day as the Calendar End.

Or, Rolling Number of Weeks

Instead of a date range, enter the number of weeks (less than 52) that the Scheduler should always show, counting forward from today. As each week passes, another week is added, so the Scheduler continues indefinitely. You can use either a date range or a rolling number of weeks, but not both.

Location

Enter a room number, room name, or other location.

Link to Share

Click this link to see the registration links for this Scheduler that you can share with your volunteers.

Leader Member Type

Select the Member Type for the leaders of this Involvement.

Limit To Role

Validate Involvement

Enter the Involvement ID numbers (separated by commas) of the Involvements whose members may sign up for this Scheduler. Use this option when people must belong to a specific class or group before they can serve. Only members of the listed Involvements appear in the lists of people you can add.

Hide Time Slot Filter on Registration Page

Set this to Yes to hide the Time Slot filter on the registration page, so registrants cannot filter the sign-up opportunities.

Make Names Visible

Set this to Yes to show registrants the names of the people who have already signed up for each Team on the registration page.

Allow Check-In

Check this box to display this Involvement’s meetings for Check-In. You can also change this from Involvements > Search: click no in the Self Check-In column, change it to yes, and then click the blue check mark.
