Apply for an open shift

Open Shifts lists all published shifts of your teams that still need people. This is where you sign up.

Who can do this: everyone who may see shifts and belongs to the shift's team. External helpers see the shifts of the organizations they work for.

1. Open Events → Shifts → Open Shifts. Each card shows the shift name, date and time, venue, organization, team and how many positions are available. Filter by team (All Teams) or by date (From / To), or switch to the calendar view with the icon at the top right.
2. Click Apply on the shift you want.
3. Check date, venue and team in Apply for shift. Add a Note (optional) for the planning team, for example a skill you bring. Click Submit application.
4. The card now shows Applied. Once the planning team approves you, it shows Approved; if all positions are filled you may land on the waitlist (Waitlisted). You get a notification in each case.
5. Changed your mind? Click Withdraw and confirm Withdraw Application. You need to apply again if you change your mind later.

Good to know

• If your organization does not allow overlapping bookings and you are already booked at the same time, VenueMaster3000 tells you which shift overlaps and does not send the application.
• Once you are approved, the shift moves to My Shifts; to step back from an approved shift, request a withdrawal there, see Your shifts at a glance (My Shifts).
• If no shift is open you see No open shifts available.
