What is block scheduling?

Follow

You may also choose to “Schedule this ministry in one month blocks” by selecting “month” instead of “week” from the drop down menu.

One week

This option causes the scheduler to schedule the same volunteers in this ministry at each of your weekly service times for an entire week at a time. (If you do not turn on this option different volunteers are scheduled for each service time in the week.) Using this setting you can also form more complex scheduling patterns like scheduling one volunteer for the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday services and another for the Tuesday and Thursday services by creating two separate subdivisions that are both scheduled in one week blocks, and requiring volunteers from the first subdivision on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and the second on Tuesday and Thursday.

Two week

This option causes the scheduler to schedule the same volunteers in this ministry at each of your specific service times for an entire week at a time. (So the same volunteers will be scheduled at the same service 2 weeks in a row, but not at any of the other services in those 2 weeks.) 

One month

When this option is turned on, each of your weekly service times will have a separate group of volunteers from this ministry for an entire month, and then the next month new groups of volunteers will be chosen for each service.
