Generating a Roster
To generate the roster “slots” for the weekly roster, you need to setup the Roster Preferences. Once the roster is generated the roster should something like the example below, the top image is in Member login, bottom image is the admin login.
Roster Preferences
Go to Members - Select Boxes - Roster Preferences
Select New
Roster Period - The session start and finish time of the volunteer time slot, it will appear in the member login and the admin login, example below. e.g. 9:15-11.15am
Roster Group - Usually set at Roster, if your Library has a Roster Coordinator then select Roster Coord here. Other options are Student or Emergency. e.g. If you need 1 Roster Coord and 2 members to volunteer for each session then need to setup 2 new Roster Preferences, see below example for 2 rows for a single Saturday session.
Weekday = Day of the week, e.g. Saturday
No Volunteers - the number of slots for each Library session for each Roster Type
No Hours - set to 1 hour (makes it easy to calculate the number sessions a member is required to completed for the membership period. e.g. 1 hr = 1 session, 4 sessions per year)
Changing the Roster Preferences
Go to Members - Select Boxes - Preferences
select the Roster preference and click Edit. Or delete the row and create a new row(s).
e.g to change the Saturday time slot from 9.30-10.30am to 9.00-10.30am click edit for both the Roster and Roster Coord with weekday = Saturday.
change the time to 9.00-10.30am
