Click a button and let MSP assign your volunteers based on volunteer preferences and settings, either on its own or in combination on other assignment methods like repeating assignments, hand picking volunteers manually, or self-signup.
- After volunteers have submitted can't serve times, create your schedule and click the Commence Scheduling button in the upper right corner of the schedule window.
- Choose to schedule "All remaining empty positions in this schedule", or only fill some of the positions by selecting:
- "All empty positions in just particular ministries"
- "Show more options" to schedule selected or specific services
Tips when using the auto-scheduler:
- Using the auto-scheduler to fill special services? Allow volunteers to choose to be auto-scheduled for particular special services.
- Want volunteers to sign up for some services (like Easter or Christmas)? Leave special services empty so volunteers can sign up online.
- Have certain ministries that need to be prioritized? Run the auto-scheduler in passes to prioritize certain ministries to make sure they are filled first.
