A standard entry labeled 'General (no specific position)' is included which represents all positions which don't have a specific min/max number of staff specified - eg. anyone who isn't a Supervisor or First Aid Staff in the table below)
Staffing requirements for events can be set for;
Each position you would like to assign staff to
For specific time-periods (eg. 2x Supervisors from 10am - 1pm, with 3 more supervisors needed from 1pm - 4pm)
For specific posts (eg. 10x First Aid Staff are required at the Stage, with 3x First Aid Staff needed at Gate A, and 2x First Aid Staff needed at Gate B from 10am - 12pm (only for Gate B).
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.
Events shown on the calendar and lists will be colour coded to reflect their current staffing requirements - generally events shown in blue still require staff (eg. at least one of the requirements hasn't been met (eg. a note-taker is still required).
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;
...
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;
...
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;
...
The following people are rostered;
