Setting custom start and end times for each volunteer on a roster

Individual Shift Times lets you set different start and end times for each volunteer on each session, overriding the session's default times. Use this when different volunteers cover slightly different parts of a shift.

Enabling Individual Shift Times

Individual Shift Times can be controlled at both the organisation level and the activity level.

At the organisation level, the setting lives in Admin Console > Operations. This sets the default for all activities.

At the activity level, the setting is in the Advanced section when creating or editing an activity:

  • No — all volunteers use the session's default times

  • Inherit — use the organisation-level setting

  • Yes — enable custom times for this activity

Setting custom times

  1. Open a roster on the Rosters page (works in any view)

  2. Click the time cell for the volunteer and session you want to customise

  3. Enter the custom start and end times

  4. Click Apply

The session's default times are shown for reference. To revert a volunteer back to the defaults, click Clear in the time popover.

Custom times are used for that volunteer's hours calculations and appear in reports.
