Assign crew and staff to shifts with role, site, start and finish times, and record who can be contacted on the day. A free event roster form.
Quick answer
Assign crew and staff to shifts with role, site, start and finish times, and record who can be contacted on the day. A free event roster form.
A roster needs coverage, not names. This form captures each person's role, the shifts they can work, their site or gate, contact number and the person covering them — so gaps in coverage are visible before the event rather than at 8am on the day.
The Event Staff and Crew Roster Form is completed per person and read as a coverage table. Roles, shift windows, site allocation and contact details sit on the same record as the nominated cover.
It suits multi-shift events where the failure mode is an unfilled role, not an unknown attendee.
