This feature is available on Advanced and Pro plans.

If you have a company or group that wants to volunteer but doesn't know the name of everyone attending, you can use Groups to assign them to events and shifts.
​
The first step is to create a group from the Directory/Groups view.
​
Next, open the event or shift schedule you'd like to assign, and click the 'Assign' button. This will open the same popup you see when assigning individual volunteers. Across the top where it says 'Active Volunteers' use the dropdown to switch to 'Groups'.

This will display the groups you have available to assign.

Go ahead and select the group and it will show a popup asking how many people will be volunteering.
​

Once you press save you'll see it now appear in the selected column ready to assign. If you need to change the number of volunteers at this point you can remove and add it again.

Now you are ready to assign the group to the shift, click 'Assign to This Shift' and you'll see it's added with the count to the shift card and updated the number of spots available.

Once you have assigned the shift, if you need to make changes to the status or update the number of volunteers you can open the shift card. To edit the number of volunteers hover over the group name and you will see an edit pencil to update.

The group leader will be the person who receives the email confirmation and reminders.
​

​Note: Group scheduling is only available for organizers to assign directly to shifts or events. We will be adding functionality in the future for groups to self-schedule or request opportunities via the hub.
