Concepts
This is the simplest type of assignment: a one-time assignment for this person doing a specific job at a fixed date, time and location.
Field name |
Description |
Job/job group |
The job this person will be performing. |
Location |
(optional) Where the job will be performed. |
Supervisor |
Person assigned as the supervisor for this assignment. Select (find a person) to include someone not already on the drop-down list. |
Start date |
|
Start time |
|
End time |
Editing the end time automatically updates the duration, and vice-versa. |
Duration |
How long this assignment will run, in hours:minutes format. Note: a single assignment cannot extend more than 23:59 (23 hours, 59 minutes.) |
Status |
Normal, Excused, Not excused, Cancelled by volunteer, Cancelled by staff, Waitlisted, Pending approval and Rejected. Use these values to filter out no-shows and habitual cancellers. |
People in this assignment |
For people who are teams, the number of people expected to be coming on that team. This can be used for family groups as well when all members (e.g. wife, husband and child) all have the exact same assignment and will always be dealt with as a group. |
