Enable Group Scheduling
Setting up Group Scheduling enables identified profiles to represent an entire group. Group profiles can sign up for Activities in MyImpactPage.com and specify the number of group members associated with that signup. Administrators can also decide whether or not to allow groups to sign up for specific Activities.
Check the box beside “Enable group scheduling”
Click the [Save] button
Show Number of Shift Openings
By letting volunteers see how many openings there still are for a shift, you’ll be letting them know how close a shift is to being full.
Check the box beside “Show number of shift openings to volunteers”

Allow volunteers to see who is assigned to an activity or activity shift
Allow volunteers to see who else is on the schedule for a shift or activity.
Check the box “Allow volunteers to see who is assigned to an activity or activity shift”
Click the [Save] button
Note: Only volunteers can change their privacy settings; an administrator cannot change this for a volunteer. If a volunteer has not given permission to have their name displayed, “Anonymous” will be shown instead.
Auto Confirm Assignments
If unchecked, after you assign a volunteer or after a volunteer self-schedules, a short confirmation step will be required by the volunteer to ensure they understand that they are on the schedule. If checked, this step will not be required, and they will be treated as confirmed automatically.
Check the box beside “Automatically confirm assignments when they are created”
Click the [Save] button
Note: Volunteers may still remove themselves from a confirmed assignment if this option is enabled in the Visibility and Automation settings for the activity.
Prevent Volunteers from Signing up for Overlapping Shifts
With this option enabled, a warning dialog box will display and volunteers will be prevented from signing up for two shifts of the same activity that overlap. This warning is not sent via email.
Check the box beside “Prevent volunteers from signing up for shifts that overlap with their existing assignments”
Click the [Save] button
Warn Administrators of Schedule Overlaps
Administrators are warned when they attempt to assign a volunteer to a shift that conflicts (overlaps) with another scheduled activity assignment. This warning is not sent via email.
Check the box beside “Warn administrators when a volunteer’s shift assignment overlaps with other shift assignments for the volunteer”
