      What is Shift Waitlisting?

      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.

      The Shift Waitlisting feature allows for users to express interest in a Shift even if that particular Role is already Full. Managers are able to select from multiple different Waitlist styles when building Shifts. These are:

      • Block Waitlist Overflow: The Scheduled Role will be marked as FULL when the Signup Limit is reached.
      • Allow Waitlist Overflow: The Scheduled Role will change to a Waitlist State once the Signup Limit has been reached.
      • Waitlist Only: Staff will Signup directly to the Waitlist

      When creating or editing a Role from the Roles and Qualifications tab, Managers are able to set a default Waitlist setting for each Role. This default can also be edited on a Shift by Shift basis, which allows Managers to pick and choose which Shifts allow a Waitlist option even if they did not set it up in the Roles section.
