For example, the staffing requirements for one event might be;
Position | Minimum | Maximum |
---|---|---|
General (no specific position) | 10 | 15 |
Supervisors | 2 | 2 |
First Aid Staff | 1 | Nil |
Total | 13 | 17 |
Another event (eg. a meeting) might have the following different staffing requirements;
Position | Minimum | Maximum |
---|---|---|
General (no specific position) | Nil | 30 |
Note-taker | 1 | 2 |
Chairperson | 1 | 1 |
Total | 2 | 33 |
Note - In this example (table 2), 'General (no specific position)' refers to anyone rostered to a team or position which isn't one of the following; 'Note-taker' or 'Chairperson' ... eg. 'Participant' would be counted towards any minimum or maximum number of people specified in the 'General (no specific position) entry' in the table.

Whilst you can still roster more staff than the maximum number allows, the system won't allow any more expression of interest submissions once the maximum number of staff has been met.
Equivalent positions
There may be instances where your event will require staff in certain positions - eg;
Position | Minimum | Maximum |
---|---|---|
Medic | 3 | 3 |
Support staff | 1 | 1 |
Total | 4 | 4 |
This works well if staff are assigned to those positions, however there is sometimes occasions where a staff member might need to be rostered based on their skills (and also may need to be invoiced/have payroll applied under different rates), however you wouldn't want to edit the event requirements each time this happens - eg;
The event requirements are as follows;
Name | Position |
---|---|
Jane Smith | Medic |
Stephen Jones | Medic |
Sarah Kim | Advanced Medic |
Total | 3 |
In this example, Sarah has all the skills and qualifications to work as a 'Medic', but would like to be be rostered as a 'Doctor' (she also meets those requirements).
To achieve this, the 'Medic' event team/position should be setup as follows in the 'Equivalent teams/positions' box;
When setup in this way, people whom are rostered as 'Advanced Medic' and 'Medic (Paramedic)' will count towards the event-staffing requirements (such as in the above example of requiring 3 medics).
Example 2;
The event has the following requirements;
Position | Minimum | Maximum |
---|---|---|
Medic | 3 | 3 |
Advanced Medic | 1 | 1 |
Total | 4 | 4 |
The following people are rostered;
Name | Position |
---|---|
Jane Smith | Medic |
Stephen Jones | Advanced Medic |
Sarah Kim | Advanced Medic |
Kate Boise | Advanced Medic |
Total | 4 |
As there are enough people rostered to satisfy both the 'Advanced Medic' and the 'Medic' positions, the event will be shown as being adequately staffed (with no further staff required).
