How to use Self-Assign for Departments

Managing your volunteer positions has never been easier with the Self-Assign feature for Departments. This functionality empowers volunteers to independently oversee their roles, providing a seamless way to manage their commitments. This article offers a concise guide on how volunteers can effortlessly handle their department positions directly from their profiles.

  1. From the Member Area, hover over your profile icon (top right corner) and select 'Profile' from the menu. 
  2. Locate the 'Departments' field within your profile layout and click 'Add'.
    Note: should your layout not contain the departments field, please get in touch with your church admin directly as this feature may not be enabled. 
  3. A list of all available departments for self-assign will appear. Select the positions you would like to volunteer and serve in. Then select 'Close'. Click 'Save' from the profile view. 
  4. To remove positions from your volunteer portfolio, simply click the 'remove' button (red x) next to the role you would like to remove. Once you remove a department position, you will no longer be requested to volunteer for the deleted role. Click 'Save'.

In conclusion, the Self-Assign feature for Departments streamlines the process for volunteers to manage their roles independently. By following the simple steps outlined above, volunteers can easily add or remove positions, ensuring their profiles are always up-to-date.
