Staff roles
The roles behind the scenes, and how they differ from the Schedule.
Staff For staff and admins.
The Staff tab holds the roles that serve the whole event rather than one part of it: sound, slides, livestream, greeters, childcare. Each role is a field, like on The Schedule: fields and times, with notes, people, linked groups and a rotation. Events have the same tab, without rotations.
Schedule or Staff?
| Schedule | Staff | |
|---|---|---|
| Use it for | The parts of the event, in order | The roles behind the scenes |
| Start times | Yes (Add Timestamp) | No |
| On the event page | Under Schedule, in order | Under Staff |
| Alerts | In Schedule | In Staff |
Both work the same otherwise. People on either are asked to accept or decline, and both can have rotations (on a template).
Add a staff roleStaff
- Open the Staff tab and select Add Field (or Add Role on an empty template).
- Name the role, like Sound.
- Pick who serves: people, a rotation, or a linked group.
- Select Save Template.
- A rotation (marker 1 on the screenshot): different people take turns, event after event (Sound).
- The same people every time (marker 2 on the screenshot) (Childcare).
- A linked group (marker 3 on the screenshot): everyone in the group when each event is made, and later changes to the group reach upcoming events (Hospitality).
The role's menu has the same options as a schedule field (Field options), without the start time.
