We have been using the "Recurring Shifts" at our Restores as it is the easiest one too use and it fits the need at the Restores. However, we have run into the slight issue of people signing up the night before, after the Manager has planned out work for the next day. So, when they come into work more people than they originally thought were showing up. It would be awesome if there was a way we can set a "registration closed date" on recurring shifts. 

For example, for all the shifts happening on June 30, we set the registration date a day or two before that. This will allow the Restore Managers to plan for the amount of volunteers that will be coming to their store and not allow others to sign up.  

There are a few fix's I can think of. One is sitting and creating "Happens on" events for every single restore and their shifts. Which I want to try to avoid. The other is decreasing the total capacity of the shift, which I have already done and only slightly helps. People can still sign up the night before if there are still spots. 

I already emailed with Caitlin Lowe. I just wanted to post on this thread since its the product suggestions. 

Thank you!

I agree with this need. For my organization, we need it most on the Custom Shift opportunities.  I know the work around is to change the capacity, but sometimes our Initiatives have over 50 opportunities attached to them and it's super tedious to go in and change capacity manually.  

Another addition that would be beneficial would be to have a bulk action for Agency/Program Managers or Site Managers where we can mark opportunities full. 

Poking an old thread here I guess. We are looking for a registration closed time. Ideally for us this would be something like an hour in advance. This is primarily for volunteers who work in our shelter's pet pantry program. As the software is now, folks will sign up to help minutes before a shift starts, or just drop in and sign up from the parking lot. Sometimes we don't have anything for them to do, or what was needed was completed during an earlier shift. Some amount of buffer time would still allow folks to help us out when they find they have time, and give us a chance to connect with them and reschedule if appropriate.
