Asked at signup
- I am forklift certified
- Group or company name, if you're coming as a team
Questions people ask
- Can a company group sign up together?
- Yes. The template asks for a group name at sign-up. One person can claim several spots on a shift for their group.
- Can we require a forklift certification?
- The template includes a checkbox for it on the sign-up. For a hard requirement, make the row a role and assign it by hand from the people who ticked the box.
- What does it cost a nonprofit?
- One live page is free. Pro is $9 a month or $79 a year: unlimited pages and volunteers, hours reports with letters, co-organizers and CSV export for grant reports.
