What is the Schedule tab?

The Schedule tab is where you go to build your schedule and monitor how it is performing. Within this tab, we have multiple features and views.

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.

Note: The Schedule Tab is best used in full screen mode, where you can preview the schedule in the most optimized view. The Full Screen button icon_fullscreen can be found in the top left of the navigation. 

What can I achieve? 

The Schedule tab is used to create Shifts and appoint the right staff to this Shift. The Schedule tab can gives you an overview of which Shifts need more Staff and which Shifts are filled in.

What are the different viewing options?

Bloomerang Volunteer offers three different views of the Schedule (also known as Categories). Each view provides a different perspective on the Scheduled based on the structure of the Shift.

The three different views are Scheduled Shifts, Scheduled Roles, and Scheduled Staff. Each view of the schedule reflects a layer of the shift structure:

  • The Scheduled Shifts view gives you a top-down perspective on all of your Scheduled Shifts. 
  • The Scheduled Roles view gives you a middle view of all of the Roles scheduled within each Shift. 
  • The Scheduled Staff view gives you a bottom-up view of all the Staff scheduled in each Role within each Shift.
