The shift schedule page

A grid showing all shifts for the event:

1. Columns — locations (e.g Main Hall, Foyer, Room 100)
2. Rows — time slots
3. Each shift card shows — shift name, role, how many slots filled vs needed (e.g. 2/3), a colour badge (open = red, partial = amber, full = green)

Sample Shift Card (as reference only)

Including restricted and non-restricted shifts

Claiming a shift

• Open non-restricted shifts show a "Sign Up" button
• Clicking "Sign Up" assigns the volunteer to that shift immediately
• Capacity is enforced.
• After claiming, the card updates to show their name

Restricted shift

• Appear on the grid so volunteers can see the full picture
• No Sign-Up button
• Volunteers cannot claim these, only an organiser or permitted user can assign them

Dropping a shift

• A person who can no longer do a shift they claimed can drop it
• Click the Drop button on their claimed shift card
• A confirmation prompt appears: "Are you sure you want to drop this shift?"
• Confirming removes the assignment and frees the slot for someone else
• The organiser receives a notification that a slot opened up

Note: In Engelsystem, to drop a shift a volunteer clicks on the shift name, which opens a dedicated shift detail page, and from there clicks "Withdraw from shift." We can also follow this same approach as it is simpler to build and prevents accidental drops from a misclick on the grid.
