Tasks (volunteers)

EME can help you manage volunteers by defining tasks for an event.

To activate tasks, go in the EME settings, tab “General” and activate the option “Use tasks”. After that, you can define tasks per event in a separate tab, like the RSVP definition.

Once you have defined your tasks for an event, check the other settings for tasks (globally and/or per event):

  • the mails that will get send if someone signs up for a task, when some cancels his/her signup, when a signup is deleted by an admin
  • the form format
  • the setting “Allow overlap” and “require WP membership”
  • if you want reminders to be sent out (reminders are sent out at midnight): choose when the reminders are to be sent (in days before the task starts)

Once your settings are ok, you need to show the signup form. For this you can use the shortcode eme_tasks_signupform on a wordpress page (or inside a single event format, see the shortcode doc). For showing who signed up, you can use the shortcode eme_tasks_signups on a wordpress page (or inside a single event format, see the shortcode doc).
