8. Select the required options depending on how often it repeats

Either one or many shifts will be created based on your settings. Volunteers will be able to sign up for each shift created.

Publishing Shifts

Before volunteers can sign up for a shift, the shift must be published as well as the scheduled activity it belongs to and the schedule that activity belongs to.

To publish shifts:
