Welcome to the Tent Shift Schedule Helper!
Not sure how to choose who will be in your tent at each time? Spending too much time trying to figure it out? Use our tool to automatically create a fair schedule based on everyone's availability and preferences! Follow the instructions below
1) Everyone in your group will need to register
Go to the Register page
2) Someone from the group will need to create a group on this site
Once logged in, go to the Create Group page. After creating the group, it will take you to a group overview page (example screenshot below). Note the "group code" on this page. It will also be at the end of the URL. Other people will need this group code to join your group.
3) Everyone else can then join the group
Once logged in, go to the Join Group page. You will need the group code from whoever created the group
4) Decide upon a range of dates/times for which you want to assign people to tenting shifts
Do this on your own. Often, groups assign members to shifts one week at a time
5) Then, everyone in the group should fill in their availability
Once logged in, go the My Groups page, select your group, and then go the availability page (screenshot below). You can fill in when you are generally available and also indicate the timeslots for which you would most prefer to be scheduled
6) Finally, run our algorithm to assign people to their shifts
On the Schedule page (screenshots below), press the "Fill in Schedule" dropdown. Before submitting, make sure everyone has filled in their availability! You can run the algorithm as many times as you want, for whatever time ranges you want. Once completed, you can also swap who is assigned to individual time slots.
