Scheduling Volunteers

PawPlacer supports:

• Recurring Schedule for weekly commitments.
• One-Time Shifts for a specific date and time.

Edit Availability

Open an approved volunteer profile and find Availability.

For recurring availability:

1. Turn a weekday on.
2. Set its start and end time.
3. Turn it off to mark the day Not Scheduled.

A newly enabled day starts at 9:00 AM–5:00 PM and can be adjusted.

For a one-time shift:

1. Click Assign Shift or Add Shift.
2. Set start and end dates and times.
3. Add more shifts or remove rows as needed.
4. Click Update Schedule.

The save action stays disabled until the schedule differs from the saved values.

Profile Summaries

The Availability panel shows active recurring days, one-time shifts on file, and the next shift. Upcoming one-time shifts also appear in a separate panel. The profile metrics count upcoming shifts and derive Hours This Year from completed one-time shifts.

Complete a Shift

Open Volunteers > Schedule from the volunteer workbench. A scheduled one-time shift has a completion action. Marking it complete updates the block and the volunteer's completed hours. Recurring availability does not have a completion status.
