Scheduling for Members

Group members are invited by group leaders to respond with their availability for upcoming events.

This feature is managed by your ministry group leader. Learn more about Scheduling for Leaders.

Viewing Upcoming Events

When a leader has added you to a schedule, you will be able to see those schedules from 2 areas.

Select a date to respond to the schedule, or to view your role assignment.

Responding to a Schedule

  1. Select a date.
  2. Select either available ("checkmark" icon) or unavailable ("no" icon).
  3. If a pre-selected role wasn’t chosen for you by a leader, select your preferred role.
    • Tip: Each role lists the number of spots assigned and needed for that role.
  4. Repeat Steps 1-3 for the other dates in the schedule.
  5. Select your General Availability, which is used to determine who should be assigned if there are more than enough members available for a specific role.
  6. Select Save Response to submit your responses to the leader.

You can edit your response up to 7 days before the scheduled date of the event, unless the leader publishes the schedule.

If you are unable to change your response or role, or if you have any other questions, please contact your ministry group leader.

Resolving Scheduling Conflicts

As a member, leaders may assign you to more than one event for the same time. In this scenario, you will see a notice for that day to help you figure out how to respond.

Leaders do not have access to your schedule, nor do they have the ability to see your conflicts.

Assigned Date and Role

Screenshot of a published assignment

You are assigned to a schedule when you see a filled checkmark ("filled checkmark" icon). This means your role assignment for that date has been confirmed.

Once a schedule is published, you will be able to see other members who are assigned for that date.

Select a member to view their directory profile and contact information.

Icon Definitions

Here are common icons that you will see as you respond to schedules.
