About this feature: Activities can have one of three schedule types:
1. Scheduled: An Activity that has specific dates and times associated with it.
2. Unscheduled: An ongoing Activity that has no date or time associated with it. (ex. remote volunteers that are able to perform their work at any hour that works for them)
3. Seasonal: An Activity that has no time associated with it and is performed on the volunteer’s own time, but only occurs between two dates. (ex. unscheduled activities that are only needed during a particular season, month(s), or week).
IMPORTANT: In order to update the Activity type of a Scheduled Activity, it must have only ONE shift. If it has more than one shift, you will need to remove the extra shifts prior to updating the Activity type.
