Worker shifts

Kirk G. shared this question ago

Answered

I am adding multiple worker shifts to an event. This one happens to be a casino event, so I want the times for the dealers to be 15 minutes before the start of the event and then one hour after. When I go in the event to create that, I manually adjust the shift time. I thought that if I did that and then added a second shift, it would save that same time frame so that I did not have to change it twice. Or am I reading the instructions wrong?

Can you please clarify on this? Are you creating a shift for 15 minutes before the event and then changing the time to 1 hour after? Or are you having issues creating 2 separate shifts?

In this case on lead #60014203, I first wanted to have a "worker shift for my dealers" for the time that the event is going on. As I created them, since I had to manually make each shift and adjust the times, I did make it for 15 minutes prior and 1 hour after as they will help tear down and I also want them at the table early to be ready. Make any sense?

Also, is there a way that a shift would be auto created for certain items? I have a setup crew that will deliver etc, but in the terms of a staffed event, it may be different people working the event that who sets up. I want to create the staffed event apart from the setup crew so that people can bid on the shifts.

There is no way to auto create shifts for staffed events.

Each new shift line will use the event time by default and need to be manually adjusted to set various shift times needed.

It is not using the event time when you create a shift. It is taking the whole time including drive time, setup, event time, tear down and drive time back.

You are correct. You would need to adjust the shift times when creating the shift from the lead.

Humm. I think we should work on that. Have them put an option on the item in the inventory page that we can select if we always send staff and how many for that item. Then, with an automation, create the shift for the time of the event plus whatever padding, etc., we put in.

What do you think?

You can indicate how many staff are needed per item for a staffed event under the item description:

Regarding the shift times, you would need to manually adjust the shift time for the lead if it is different from the drop off/event time/return window.
