Scheduling / Availability

Q: Is there a way to schedule the volunteers repetitively for the same job type and same day of the week throughout the year?

A: Yes, but the concept is a bit different than Schedules in the Reporter.

It sounds like you have already placed your volunteers and their placements continue until you end them. If this is not the case you would go to Placements from the main menu and place all of your volunteers and Add them to the jobs they will be doing.

Then, you can Add or Edit the days and shifts on the Availability tab.
