Setting Up Volunteer Tasks
Volunteer tasks define the jobs and equipment needs for your event. Volunteers choose from these tasks when they sign up.
Creating a Task
- Click Add New Task.
- Select the Task type:
- Job - A role volunteers can fill (for example, "Concessions" or "Gate Attendant").
- Equipment - Something volunteers can bring (for example, "Generators" or "Canopies").
- Enter a Task Name (required). The placeholder updates based on task type.
- Optionally enter a Description explaining what the task involves.
- Optionally enter the Number Needed - leave empty if there's no specific limit. If provided, must be at least 1.
- Click Create.
Tasks Table
The table displays all tasks with the following columns:
- Task Type - Job or Equipment.
- Task Name - The name of the task.
- Description - The task description.
- Spots Filled - Shows progress as "filled / needed" (for example, "3 / 10"). Displays "--" if no number was set.
For job tasks, spots filled counts the number of volunteers assigned. For equipment tasks, it totals the quantity each volunteer committed to bring.
