But before we delve into the capabilities of the Schedule Toolbox, keep in mind that it's just one part of the larger Group Scheduling framework. In the next chapter, we'll cover the administrative configuration and the Group Scheduler, which is how Group Scheduling is set up and managed internally. And remember, while many of the examples may revolve around weekend serving schedules, don’t feel limited to that. Group Scheduling extends far beyond typical weekend service coordination. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box! For instance, Group Scheduling can be used to: Organize VBS staff and volunteer schedulesCoordinate summer camp volunteersSet up a rotating schedule for monthly campus potlucksKeep youth groups on track and engagedSeamlessly manage special events The Schedule Toolbox can be accessed from your public-facing website via the My Account page. Let's explore the details, starting with the person’s Current Schedule. Current Schedule The Current Schedule is exactly what it sounds like. It shows the person's currently accepted, declined and pending serving engagements. But there's more to it than just glancing at a list of dates and times. Let's break down the features in this area of the Schedule Toolbox. Add to Calendar - What’s more convenient than having your schedule on your own calendar? This button will automatically download a .ics file to your computer, which you can import into your calendar software. On mobile, this will immediately ask if you want to add it directly to your calendar. Copy Calendar Link - This will copy a link to your calendar to your clipboard. This makes it easy to paste it directly into calendar software like Microsoft Outlook or Google Calendar.Schedule Unavailability - This is where you can set periods when you’ll be unavailable to serve, perhaps due to a vacation or schedule conflict.Actions - Each of these buttons will direct the volunteer to a new screen where they can manage different aspects of their schedule and schedule preferences. Each of these actions are described in the following sections below. The list of available Actions can be modified by editing the block's settings.Confirmed - Confirmed assignments can be cancelled by clicking the three dots and selecting Cancel Confirmation. Similarly, Declined assignments can be accepted by clicking the three dots and selecting Confirmed. Note the text for both of these buttons can be controlled via block setting. Accept/Decline - Will you be able to serve in this slot? Simply click Accept or Decline for each schedule and location.Unavailable - This indicates an assignment that occurs during a period of unavailability, which the volunteer can configure for themselves (see below screenshot). Clicking the three dots to the right will let the person remove such assignments from the list. The Add to Calendar and Copy Calendar Link buttons described above won’t be available until you have an actual, confirmed schedule. In other words, nothing will go on your calendar if you haven’t Accepted anything yet. Keep in mind you may need to download these files multiple times as your schedule changes. TipBlock SettingsBe sure to review the settings for this block because there are a lot of them. For instance, you can change the text of buttons on the page, or you can disable some of the features entirely. Cancelling a “Confirmed” assignment changes it to “Declined” automatically. A reason for declining will be required if the Group Type is configured to require a reason. Also, a Decline Note will appear if enabled in the block settings (both are off by default). You may also notice that you can switch between schedulable family members on all panels of the Schedule Toolbox. Pictured below, Noah and Alex are not listed only because they do not belong to any schedulable groups. Family members will appear in the Schedule Unavailability window (see below), even if they’re not schedulable.
