      How to Set Default Shift State?

      InitLive is now Bloomerang Volunteer—a new name, a new look, and a new integration. Bloomerang Volunteer works just like InitLive. You can do everything you always do, and in the same way.

      shift state defaultManagers are able to set a default Shift State from the General Settings tab under Shift and Schedule Settings. By setting the default Shift State, all Shifts that are made will be either in Draft or Published State.

      If the schedule needs to be finalized with edits after restoring staff/volunteers into Shift Roles, it is recommended to have the default stat be Draft.  If staff/volunteers will be signing up for Shifts during the signup workflow then default state should be set to Published.
