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:
- Turn a weekday on.
- Set its start and end time.
- Turn it off to mark the day as None scheduled.
A newly enabled day starts at 9:00 AM–5:00 PM and can be adjusted. Weekdays are listed from the first day of the week in the workspace language, as in the volunteers table and calendars.
For a one-time shift:
- Click Assign Shift or Add Shift.
- Set start and end dates and times.
- Add Notes with duties, instructions, or other details for that shift.
- Add more shifts or remove rows as needed.
- Click Update Schedule.
The save action stays disabled until the schedule differs from the saved values.
Shifts that have ended are grouped under Past shifts, collapsed; Show more reveals ten at a time. Saving writes only the shifts you added, changed, or removed, so a shift a teammate added or completed in the meantime is kept.
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 once its end time has passed in the organization's time zone. Marking it complete updates the block and the volunteer's completed hours, and the confirmation offers Undo. On the volunteer profile a completed shift shows a Completed chip and its date and times are read-only; choose Mark incomplete to reopen it before changing them. You can edit a completed shift’s notes without reopening it or changing its recorded hours. Shift notes also appear in upcoming shift summaries and the volunteer schedule. Recurring availability does not have a completion status.
