The Scheduling module allows you to create roles and shifts and assign them to individuals in your event. This could be volunteers, bar staff, stewards, etc.

Once the Scheduling module is enabled in Core settings then you can get started.

On the left menu select Roles and then Add role.

When adding a role you have a few fields to complete.

Role name: this is the type of role, such as bar staff, volunteer or steward.

Default hourly rate: enter the rate of pay, or add 0.00 if they are an unpaid volunteer doing shifts in return for a ticket.

Section visibility: the is which areas or sub-areas can assign this shift type to individuals in that section. The default is global, but if you deselect this you can select which sections will see this role available to assign.
