Under Settings - Staff you can also enable the features Preferred task and Preferred shifts. If this is enabled you can create a form where people can specify this and this information will then be carried over to the scheduling.

Before you can start scheduling you must create tasks and shifts.
Under Settings - Staff, select Tasks. Create the different tasks that should be available here. It is possible to create subtasks or specify that a task should only be available for certain groups. Then go to Shifts and create these. It is recommended to set each day as a shift, more precise times are set during scheduling.
When the above is done we come to the actual Volunteer Scheduling
