How to use sign-up sheets
Ask for volunteers, potluck dishes, carpool seats or supplies, and sign your family up.
Sign-up sheets live on your group's Sign-ups tab. Each sheet has slots: a job, a dish, a seat or an item, and how many each one needs. The tab shows for everyone once the group has its first sheet; until then, only Leaders and Admins see it.
Sign your family up
- Open Sign-ups (or the event, if the sheet is for one).
- Find a slot that isn't full. Add a note if you like ("brownies", "3 seats").
- If a slot needs several, choose how many you'll cover.
- Tap Sign up.
Your family's name shows on the slot for everyone who can see the sheet. Changed plans? Tap the × next to your family's name while the sheet is open. If a slot has a time, everyone in your household gets a reminder email the day before.
Make a sheet (Leaders and Admins)
- On Sign-ups, tap New sign-up sheet. From an event, tap Add a sign-up sheet.
- Pick a starting point (Volunteer jobs, Potluck, Carpool or Supply list), or type your own slots.
- For each slot, set how many you Need, and a time if it happens at a set time.
- Optional: Who can sign up (everyone, or one Circle), For an event, and Closes.
- Tap Create sign-up sheet.
A slot never takes more than it needs, so you won't get six desserts for four spots.
Close or delete a sheet
The person who made a sheet, and Admins, can tap Close (families can't change their sign-ups after that) or Delete. They can also remove any family's name from a slot.
