Offer open staff positions

Let eligible staff respond to an available shift, then review or automatically approve responses according to the position settings.

Written by Naomi Sherman

Let eligible staff respond to an available shift, then review or automatically approve responses according to the position settings.

Steps

  1. Open the event's scheduling tools and add/open an Open Position.

  2. Set the role and the shift dates, times, location and details.

  3. Review who is eligible to respond and which staff should be notified.

  4. Choose whether responses are reviewed manually or Auto-Approve Work Requests is enabled.

  5. Set the confirmation window where needed, save and review incoming responses.

When responses open

The confirmation window controls the number of days before the shift starts when staff can respond. Requests outside that window can be declined until it opens. It is not a guarantee that a position will be filled by a deadline.

Review the outcome

Manual approval and automatic approval are different. Check the actual accepted/scheduled staff after responses. Portal visibility and notifications still follow the account's staff permissions and preferences.
